Thanks snipe.
I did get to the pond twice today with the sole purpose of enjoying the feasting trout. They are the only fish still visibly taking pellets. Water temp has dropped well below 50 degrees so bass and sunfish are deep and out of view.
Already the walk back to the house is feeling like a stroll instead of a mountain hike.
I'll not be going back to work for many (5 or 6) months, so if you can use a hand at your place later in winter or early spring, just holler. I'll drive over.
