How would you answer this?

Asked of me by a fellow Master Gardener, where our mottos is, "If I don't
know, I will find out" therefore.....

Jim: I have a 500 gallon pond, with a few large koi and I want to know if I
can toss a couple of trout in that I catch from the local river? Since
they'll eat while it's cold I could fatten them up before I fry them up.
Would this be a problem?



1) most states require permits to keep "game fish".
most trout have "whirling disease"

2) trout need fast cool clean water. koi dont.



My answer: I don't know, but I'll find out.
