That's a zinger of an idea, I have a pond with bass in it. Don't you need an aerator or something though for trout? I heard there was something you need like thatIf you really want a good return starting a fish pond returns a lot of protein in a limited amount of space. I haven't done it, as I have a yard about the size of a walk-in closet, but if I were to raise anyhting for meat, it would be trout. Easy to feed and maintain and smoked trout is heavenly!
