You bet. The reason I said that is because of the overflow. When we get a solid rain this pond takes on a good amount of water runoff and I am concerned stocked fish will travel right along through. Am I safe assuming this?

We have quite a bit of wildlife, which was a selling point for me on the property. Frogs, turtles, ducks, etc. I definitely wouldn't mind having fish back there but it won't be a fishing spot with lake Jacomo 1 mile away.

Appreciate the early advice and more to come. When I was doing saltwater aquariums I found similar forums to be invaluable!
