Of the three TAGGED fish placed in the pond, NONE were claimed for a $50 prize!
 
NOTE: we placed 115 trout in the pound on Friday, April 19th. Ten trout were caught. One 17" trout was caught. We believe it was a holdover from last year, as the largest trout we stocked was 12-14 inches. Two largemouth bass were caught; the largest was 1lb 7oz! Our stocking trout farm suggests that competition from the large-mouth bass and the pan fish may have kept the trout at the bottom of the pond.  I think there is another reason...
