Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Want to stock trout....what type?

Wow esshup,
That's one fat rainbow. Fed once a day? What feed are you using?
I put my trout in late April and they last until first of July. They grow 1-2 inches in about 4 months. I feed a hand full of the hatchery food a day, not sure what brand they use. Other than that, I have a good population of mayflies and other insects with some PS fry.

My growing season is short because of my leak problem. The pond starts to replenish itself in late October to about 4 feet deep, then ices over. Toyed with the idea of stocking brookies through the aeraton hole, but haven't done it yet. In March-April the pond is back to full pool.

Sorry to hijack your thread rt014, I was impressed by the size of esshup, rainbow.
