I built a 2-1/2 acre pond in 2016 that is now producing some very good fishing. It so happens that it is located immediately adjacent to an old, as far as I know, fishless pond that is about 1/2 acre. It has not had fish in it to my knowledge for years, although according to neighbors, once upon a time there were good fish in it.

The dam of the old, little pond is actually a short section of the bank of the new pond, they are that close to one another. Reading about people with nursery ponds, etc, I wonder if I shouldn't do something with the little pond to somehow help the big pond???

Does anyone have any recommendations or ideas as to how I can put the little pond to use? I think it is at least 6'-8' deep, I plan on checking the depth this winter.
