I agree, a lot of the merchandise sold over the counter now days has little waste in mind as far as dubbing's and the like, meaning the whole skin is basically shaved and mixed to what you buy in the shop in a pretty packet, this dubbin works well I found when the fish are on the like of white caddis, when tied in small 16's and the likes. but is next to useless for a proper H&C.

probably not... Unless they were released in mid summer when terrestrial insect activity was at its peak and they could sustain themselves that way. It wouldn't take long for such a structure to stagnate anyway making it unlivable for trout. Over time as algae grew on the concrete etc and things began to live on the algae and the trout began to live on those i guess it is remotely possible and they may possibly survive but would be, in my guess, ugly, skinny, and begging for a merciful death....
Yeah
Down here there are plenty of man made lakes, in one of the bigger lakes brown trout and Salmon were released a few years back. This lake had rock amour instead of plastic so was a bit more natural. It was fed by a small stream during large flows. It had a strong population of bullys living in it.
From my understanding the first summer the lake was covered in dead salmon bodies. The trout were rarely seen. It has since changed ownership so access is now more difficult. I heard of a handful of trout being caught from it.
Plastic or artificial lakes can and do hold self sustaining Trout. just takes a while for the lake to get enough mud to be able to sustain weed and therefore insect's. lot of the Aussie and American private "ponds" have and do produce good trout fishing, especially dry-fly.

get them to fell some pines around it and I'm sure the silting effect will speed up the process :D |
