Zep, as I understand it trout will not reproduce in our ponds. However, they can make good forage, better than BG, due to fusiform shape. I think they'd survive 6 months where I am, Nov-April. Fit well with TP to cover almost the entire year.
Seriously thinking about waterdogs. I can see it in 2025: Purina Waterdog Chow, with a pic of Bob Lusk holding up a giant specimen!
