I have a small automatic feeder and averaged feeding one 20 lb. bag of Blue Seal floating fish food every two weeks. In most years, feeding generally begins in early April at ice out and extends thru Mid-late November. I stocked 100 Rainbow Trout in the pond in late October and observed them chasing FHM in the murky water during a warm spell in December just before the pond surface entirely froze.
