Too late now for my former fish. Neighbors can see ponds from their property but I cannot. They would report me to the police. The property is long and narrow. The portion the ponds are on is about 1,200 ft x 300 ft. My house is near one end, but the only suitable clay for ponds is on the other end. I couldn't afford the cost of moving clay to my end, where it's all gravel, plus a big sewer line easement through one corner behind the house. Think I will start fishing public waters more, or just buy my fish already cleaned. It's so frustrating! Comparable to having your tractor shed burn down.
