Esshup, those are beautiful RBT. I'm amazed that you get them that big in six-seven months. You have any oversummer, or is it a three-season thing?

Growing trout in non-trout locales is really interesting to me. If I had the resources, I'd do some work to figure out how feasible it is to grow trout in midwestern ponds through combining climate adjustment techniques such as running an aerator on a timer, locating ponds on north-facing hillsides, planting deciduous trees around ponds to shade them in the summer, things like that.
