Well, I dumped in ~1000 FHM and qty (6) 10-12" rainbows a few weeks back. I took it as a good sign that 2 days after planting, I saw a few trout launch out of the water grabbing either bugs or FHM on the surface.
I know with freshly stocked aquarium fish, the first few hours is critical and if they last more than 24 hours, 90% of the worrying is over. Would the same hold true for trout in a pond (assuming stable water conditions)?
I'm heading up this weekend to verify that they are still alive. If I don't see them, I will do a little fishing (barbless of course) and see if I can get one to bite.
