Since reading about winter time trout stocking in ponds, here on PB, I was kicking the idea around.I've been weighing the species options, and saw the Browns handle the highest temps of the three. I also read the Browns are "the most elusive".So many things a layman as my self reads, translates as totally undoable or a wasted effort. Just how difficult are the Browns to hook? You stock 300 and catch 3 or 4? That's how it "translates" to me anyway.Especially since I am not a Trout angler extraordinaire.I've caught one in my life and it was a Rainbow.

Sounds like wintertime trout angling, a 1/4 mile from the house with no limits, licenses and stamps required might be fun.

CJBS, thanks for the compiled information. It saves alot of searching.


That response should be archived for quick reference!(maybe it has and I have'nt found it)
