Is there anyone having good success with SP in areas of NSW, VIC, or TAS at alltitudes of 450m? I believe my climate is too cold to run them successfully over numerous winter season but just curious to see if there are many others having success in similar climates. |

didn't test today but they have been roughly 9-10 at the highest every day for the last 3 months. I only test late afternoon and so I would not have any higher temps. Lows overnight could be alot less. |

Thats pretty cold, and summer? You must be pretty close to trout all year round considering people here in Perth almost managed to keep them through summer. |

Last summer.... no problems we didn't get one! but 2 summers before... about 20 mins east of me is where the biggest of the black Saturday fires started and that day was 47+ and every day for 5 days either side was over 30! Trout year round probably not an option but very keen to make it work. Would like to have a bit more land to be able to have inground deep tanks and run only trout. |

My big tank only hit 25C once last summer so trout would have gone through. Most years here we have multiple days of 40C plus so , trying trout would be risky In Meldourne you should have more chance of keeping them year round me thinks\ Sorry, dunno why I was thinking trout |
