Hello
I have a large pond and applied to the DFO for aquaculture fishing form and stuff and i applied for brook trout and/or rainbow trout to raise. It appears that i wont be able to get brook trout because there are no hatcheries in the area that sell brook trout fingerlings. So looks like i may go with rainbow trout. I dont have a stream but i have a 6800GPH pump that im going to get working with a 1 inch outlet hose - not sure if i can pour some large gravel i have in the back and simulate a stream or something for them with that pump or if the flow would be not strong enough? Also i am willing to go with other salmon type fish if there are hatcheries near the lower mainland area if they work in the freshwater pond environment - especially if they eat plants.
any thoughts or suggestions?
thanks!
