Supplemental trout feed
We bought some of Cargill’s EWOS Pacific Growth floating pellet feed and was surprised that even browns, brooks and rainbow stocked 1.5 years ago were on it fast. Brookies will line up and slurp them in deliberate succession. Browns swim up at a steady speed and turn on them making a minimal splash and rainbows power through them.
I am noticing a definite size increase in these trout as the brooks are getting longer and fatter.
I want the browns to get a jump on size so as to get big enough to eat perch.
With perch in our lake it is good to see feeding can help to maintain or grow and I can only image how big these trout could grow without perch.
It is so cool taking a container of pellets down and watch the trout come up.
Who else is feeding trout?
