Rainbow Trout

We receive a lot of interest and questions regarding stocking Trout in ponds. If this is something you want to do, you should consider. Trout will most likely not survive the summer months in your pond. What I recommend doing is to stock trout in late fall or early spring. This will give you the maximum amount of time to fish and harvest your Trout before the water temperature is too warm for trout to live. Once the temperature reaches approx. 68 degrees Trout will struggle to survive and simply die and sink to the bottom. However, under some circumstances where oxygen and temperature levels can be sustained, Trout can survive year round. If you have any questions regarding this, we can help you increase your chances in sustaining a Trout population year round.
