These are the kind of answers i wanted not a bunch of whiners telling me how cruel it is to take two of fish fry out of a lake with thousands of fish. Thanks for being resourceful to those that gave me helpfull responses quickly. You made the fishs' short stay a lot better.

No one said it was cruel to take them, we said it is ILLEGAL to do so. You also broke another law and endangered an entire ecosystem by releasing them back into the wild.
You can't even spell "Mackinaw" or "fridge" correctly. You also live in Sacramento, where it's hot during the summer. How in the world are you going to put these things in a pond and expect them to live? Even in your house, the water is 85 degrees. It's even hotter outside. I've lived in Sacramento for 6 years before, so I know the weather there. Plus, Sacramento is home to the Department of Fish and Game. People keep native fish in other states because it's legal. In California, it is illegal. At the very least, you shouldn't announce on a public forum what illegal things you have done. That is stupidity.
It's not so much the illegal fish, it's going around announcing it. Back home in Cali, I had all sorts of illegal items in my house(not just fish). But, I never confessed on a public forum what I had and so forth. There are certain things you should keep on the DL.I have illegal fish!I must be stupid too......... oh I'm a bad speller
It's over and done with. To be honest no one is gonna go after this guy for 2 small fish. If this guy netted buckets full then maybe. They just don't have the resources to go after everyone who took a fish or two out of the wild. If he broke any laws he did so ignorantly. If some one knows the laws then breaks them then they deserve to be ridiculed IMO.
I have to agree with the others about the irresponsibility of your actions..but to answer your question a chiller would be the best option. As others have said you could make a home made chiller with a fridge and pipping, but IMO that is to unreliable. A chiller would be a better option (they tend to run pretty expensive though). I would also make sure there is decent current as well as have the time to do frequent water changes as trout tend to prefer more pristine conditions.
