Rainbow Trout

Rainbow trout eat a variety of foods such as minnows, food pellets, and insects. Trout do not reproduce well in ponds so may need to be restocked every 2-3 years. Rainbow trout will eat 3% of their body weight per day typically reaching 1-4 lbs. but can occasionally grow to 5+ lbs. Trout require a minimum depth of 8-10 feet and oxygenated water with temperatures under 60 degrees. A suggested stocking rate is 75 trout per 1/4 acre.  4-6"
