You're right, the pool is no place to keep trout. However, it appears to have excellent back space and therefore would make an excellent casting pond. Clearly, it should be used for that purpose. Just think of how much you and your mother could improve your casting skills with all of that water to practice your roll cast on. As for moving, I'm getting ready to do that, Rebecca. I think I've found the solution. I'm just giving all my stuff away. No way I'm gonna move all that. Hello Salvation Army, goodbye dining room table. I never liked it that much anyway. That's probably why the ex left it with me. Then just throw what's left in the back seat of the car and drive on over to the new place. Ok, Kaitlyn, here’s the way it should go.

I you really want your fishing spot mom, just build yourself a pond. I shall keep the pool. Agreed? That way we would both be happy. ~K Sorry but I still say a pool is a pool, not a place to fish.

Thank you everyone for your support. I may need to print off your votes and ideas (comments) to present to a round table discussion here at the house. I'm sure teenage daughters would listen to all this sound advice.......if not, I could throw in some pike or other fish with big teeth and see how they like that sort of surprise in the pool. If I can't convince them, maybe I can scare the hell out of them~ Look at all this cement Trout Pond wisdom!! Thank you everyone for your support.

I would kill to have that kind of fly pattern testing facility in my backyard. Instead, I stuck with pine trees and pleny of shade. No room for casting demonstrations. I say go ahead and practice, if a child gets in the way, then should've watched your backcast. Jealous. I would kill to have that kind of fly pattern testing facility in my backyard.

A new post! This is quite humorous. i used to test new fly patterns in the pool at the old house, so i know what you mean about it....it was a salt system, so i'm sure the snook would have been quite comfortable....LOL! BTW, i moved house the same day as you and as you know, my writing and blogging quality suffered. Still don't have internet at home. Rob FINALLY!!!! A new post!

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:39:31 +0000 http://www.outdooress.com/?p=1080#comment-227 I think it's a great idea to have a trout pond in the back yard it might be easier to take care of then a swimming pool. I can't wait until my boys are old enough for me to torment. It's too bad you had to move in the cold weather moving isn't fun in the first place then add the 0 temp blah! Well hope you enjoy the new home. I think it’s a great idea to have a trout pond in the back yard it might be easier to take care of then a swimming pool.

I recommend going with your idea, but maybe consider a bass pond, since trout will suffer from lack of oxygenated water during the hot months. Or if you want to make it really interesting for swimmers, toss in some pike. Enjoy the new home and cement pond! Ah, messing with one’s kids – one of the great rewards of being a parent.
