I think trout need cold running water.The fish are secondary to getting the pond complete. Tilapia would be my first choice but trout seems a more natural fit for my area. I just walked the rim of the pond and its just under 50' in diameter and I'm hoping for around 4' feet at the deepest point, its filled in a bit between the weather and animals so needs work. Right now it looks like a big plastic mud puddle with rocks around it. And a pile of dirt behind it and Oh ya and that tree I made.
If your serious, probably mid to end of may is my estimated time to do it. A lot going on between now and then for both of us I think. I've got this pretty sweet 16' tent and a 5th wheel on the property. The weather is gonna be great tho. If littleblu isn't off to college by then she'll be able to help too. Only about 20 mins away. This will probably be one of my biggest projects by far
Not to mention trout need deeper water than just 4 feet.I think trout need cold running water.
Do your research, I was into ornamental ponds for quite a few years, found a forum or two and learned alot.
Read about alot of train wreck ponds that became mires of anaerobic pestilence because of lack of due diligence.
Like chickens they seem easy, but there are some details that can make it or break it.
