Hello everyone,
I have a 1 acre 13ft deep pond stocked with rainbow and brown trout. It is not spring fed, so the water at the surface heats up substantially during the hot periods of the summer. It is currently 26C or 79F. I am still feeding floating pellets between 2 and 7 times per week. I've noticed the rainbows are still aggressively feeding even in the warm water temperatures but the browns have almost stopped, which is strange since browns are supposed to deal with warm temperatures better. Either way, the rainbows eat all the feed I throw, but I'm wondering if I should stop to avoid stressing them and causing a fish kill. I can wait until September when the water cools down and start feeding then.
Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
Adam
