Hi,Brown trout are natural to rivers, they need plenty of oxygen and i dont think they would do well in stagnant water. Also they are predatary fish and will eat other fish of smaller sizes. If the pond had some flow i guess they may survive but then tench might not like that amount of flow.Koi are very happy in well oxygenated moving water .I havnt kept them though (trout)so cant give you much more knowledge.
