So you are evidently not feeding the trout pellets? How many brookies did you originally stock? Overloading the natural carrying of the pond will resort in fish not growing very well and probably loosing body weight. I doubt the brookies ate the 8" grass carp. GC until as older individuals can be shy. If you are feeding pellets the GC will eventually be coming to the surface when the welfare food if provided.
