Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Lake trout or mackinaw in a pond

I was told Lake Trout would not work. They like VERY deep water and spend a large portion of the summer very deep. May be worth a try though. You would be the very first person that I have seen on the forum to try them. If they don't work out you could try Splake. They are a Brook Trout X Lake Trout hybrid and might be a nice compromise. I can confirm they do well in small bodies of water.

Have you measured your DO levels in the 20' to 30' range??
