Looks great! The trout probably won't make it through the summer. I have to catch mine by the end of May. A pond with 1# Bluegill is easily doable if you feed 'em. Typically in 3 years or maybe a bit less, depending on what size they are now and what you feed them. I have a client that is catching BG that are 11+" and are over 1.5#. They were stocked as 2.5" fish the Spring of 2017. They were over a pound each back in the winter of 2020
Re BG and what you said, are you concerned with PH or water temp since its heavily spring fed? I'll get PH this Sat. I am not going to be living there for a few years. its just rec land for now. I am planning on putting up a auto feeder. With the vegetation and how much it will probably grow with the clarity, do i need to get structure in there?
