Thanks for your reply, Bill.
We finally stocked today and purchased some floating food from the hatchery. I will try your tips in the winter, but I'm also hoping that I can grow them a good amount this fall. We should have a decent amount of time before ice, depending on the weather, of course. I'm hoping that the food will take away from some of the trout-bass competition. I'm interested to see how the fish grow, as this is my first time pellet feeding my pond.
