From the Campground

Who knows how I managed to mess up the last entry but here it is again . Hopefully in readable form.

It takes about one year to raise a 13 inch, 1 lb. trout. When fed, the trout go into a frenzy, churning the waters and jumping over each other to get the pellets. They are fed special protein filled pellets daily.  If the water is low in volume and flow, the screens between sections must be cleaned 2-3 times per day and more water diverted into the raceways.  If oxygen levels are low, aerators are run 24. hrs per day. The water is tested for clarity. Even in the best of conditions, the raceways need regular cleaning of debris, fish poop and plant growth. This is done with a brush along the walls and bottom and then lots of shoveling. In the fall we cover the raceways with nets to catch leaves and these sometimes have to be emptied twice a day. Any wonder why I say that David is “married” to thousands of high maintenance females.
