I will be draining my pond in the summer when the flow comes to a trickle to repair the dam.

Assuming a mid-summmer 'refill' of the pond (from a cold natural spring)....What would be your strategy and timing for stocking it? (Assuming that I ultimately want Rainbows, Brookies and forage fish).

I will also plan on buying a feeder to supplement with trout pellets. I was reading elsewhere that unless you establish the forage fish in advance (like the year before) they will be gobbled up and your back to no forage fish.

Adirondack Pond - thanks for those links btw.
