[quote="Marc d WLast season I got trout to over 1.6 kg from the week after easter to Christmas. Many of the trout were over a kg in October. Trout grow fast and are a great feed from 300gm on and you should have no trouble getting them to that size and larger over what is left of Autumn, winter and spring.

I expect to start harvesting my trout from late winter. Last year i was pulling trout out that weighed 750gm in the last week of August and 600gms in early August. (The first one I pulled (Euthanased) in late May was 250gms) All were a great feed. I did start with advanced fingerlings but even if you halved these weights you will still have a good feed at the end of August and an even better feed into spring.[/quote]

Marc had a 'green' thumb with trout last year. From the pictures he posted they were as wide as they were long.

well i gettin ten trout next saterday hope my temps are good

Mine seem happy so far, and are smashing the food already.
I gotta be careful for spikes, the 2 Koi i had in there weren't going thru much food

sorry jonboi i missed your post. Advanced fingerlings are just bigger fingerlings. you can see the sizes from troutmam's website. they are great if you want to harvest some fish early eg from june onward.
unfortunately he had none available this year.

Can't wait for home grown smoked trout
