Some major questions to answer before deciding if you want to go further....

1). If this is a venture where they provide equipment, who maintains it and who insures it while it is on your property?
2) I hate dealing with insurance companies, but in this case you would have to.... how much liability insurance do you have to carry and
Can you insure the equipment for catastrophic loss due to theft, vandalism, power failure or natural disaster (think storm damage from trees)
3). If this is done in tanks, in barn.... will you have to be able to secure the barn from theft and vandalism? If so, then will the FIL allow your husband to
Boot out all of the other folks storing things in the barn so that he can control access as he should?
4) Do you have access to alternative power source? Large volume tanks with large numbers of fish may be able to survive a few hours without their
Filtration running but without aeration I think you would be facing massive dead loss in short order.
5) If there is a dead loss from disease or mechanical failure (of their equipment) then who covers the losses? Do you end up eating the cost?

I don't like to be a negative type, but these are just some background type questions I would want answered right off the bat.

If it were my property, and I could work out details, I think it would be a neat thing to give a shot!

No offense taken.
Lancaster county has two fly only streams. Hold trout year round. Catch and release a lot of the time.
They used to stock right next top my house until slob fisherman ruined it. Stream would hold some all summer.
Check Donegal creek for fly fishing in mount joy.

Ligonier Valley has wonderful trout fishing. They advertise it every year. Mill Creek is stocked several places within a mile of my house. One right across the street. I remember the year they dropped several albino trout in. What a melee that was, everyone trying to catch them. Watkin's Store ( unincorporated Waterford ) is just across the creek.They have the best deli in the valley. No need to bring food with you, smile. Mill Creek is taken care of by Trout Unlimited as is Loyalhanna Creek which runs by Ligonier. Lots of wonderful fishing! There is also a campground within walking distance of downtown Ligonier and Loyalhanna Creek. Or, you can start fishing where Ann Roberts Road crosses Mill Creek. ( Intersection of Ann Roberts Road and Mill Creek Rd.) Then walk down the creek fishing to the pole bridge which is the 1st place they stock. Then on down to where the creek runs under Rrt. 271. (the 2nd place they stock in the parking lot of the Church of the Brethren which is by the bridge) . You can stop in for food/drink, etc. at Watkin's, then fish the creek for 2 more miles ( there is a deep hole on the north side of the next 271 bridge near Griffith Rd. where the fish like to collect)... till it passes next to Sheetz. Stop there for afternoon food, or cross the street to the newly rebuilt and expanded Forks Inn for a Sam Adams and a pizza. Lots of fun! It's a 1.8 mile walk back up Route 271 from Sheetz to the bridge by Watkin's Store. From what I have seen, most of the fishing occurs from the Ann Roberts bridge down to the Griffith Rd. bridge.
Best,
Karen

Love trout fishing. Somerset & Bedford county here lots of streams that hold trout all yr. Sad thing is I work in ligonier and have threatened to take my tackle with me just to stop and fish but my DBF would be so sad.....
 
Woowee I'm tired. I was out doing chicken stuff for 2 hours today. I know that's nothing compared to what some of you guys do. We have 15 inches here. I measured today. I don't really know if that's an accurate though, I live on top of a really windy hill. Which makes things colder in winter.

Anyway. The wire divider came out of the coop today, since everyone can mingle peacefully with the newbies now. They even sleep on the same roost. I did a huge clean out and sprayed some organic cleaner I made for the coop that I found on Pinterest. It's pinned on my "Useful DIYs" board. The roosts, floors, shelf, etc. all got wiped down. The normal things got done too like new water and food.

In other news. Don't you just love it when your "friends" of 10 years hate you and then embarass you in public and be nothing but rude? Yeah me too! And it's not a little fight that will pass either. It's something I can never forgive. Especially when you don't have any other really close friends... So that's why I've been telling you guys all about my days for the last week or so.
 
didn't mean to start arguments here,,,just really need to know how doable this is before i turn him loose,,,,,,more of a hobby for him than a money maker.....not sure how much of a problem heating the water would be, he seems to be interested in tilapia, might be cause that's usually what I buy....I keep my ferment right inside the barn door and it does not freeze,,,only after putting it out for the birds does the problem start....so it might be doable to keep water temp inside the barn...

trout sound interesting only because the water temp could be lower,,,,but the only time I ate trout, I picked little bones out of it and it really was not that good,,,in defense of the trout, my sister in law cooked it and she ruins boiled water...
