walshie 2,804 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 If you had a small farm pond about 1/4 acre, but quite deep (one end is 16ft) how would you work out how many fish it could hold? The previous owner used to stock it with trout and hire it out to fishermen. Apparently there's nothing in there now except a couple of eels that made their way up from the stream. Still not convinced whether to put trout in it that I can eat or carp and tench that would be fun to catch, or could you put both in as long as the trout were smaller than the coarse fish?

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Get an aerator and put both, carp and game fish. Best of both worlds, watch the big carp whilst eating the troots.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why would it need an aerator mate? It used to house a good stock of trout on its own. It's got a stream coming into it and an overflow pipe out to another stream. So you can have coarse fish and trout in the same lake? Cool. I reckon a few carp and some tench and lily pads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
