ok guys,i've been reading on this site for probably 2 years about how fish get to a body of water.here's the story i have a 5 acre lake now that is stocked with fish.i built a 1 1/2 acre pond 17 months ago that is 315 yards from the 5 acre pond that i plan on connecting them together with a canal.at this time both ponds have a levee around them so the only water they get is rain and water i put in them with a well i had dug.the new pond has been full of water for 16 months now and i put zero fish in this pond.my contractor is digging the canal next weekend to tie them together so tomorrow myself and 3 friends are going fishing in this new pond with no fish, to see if fish have found there way there.either by birds,walked on dry ground and over the levee are there may not be a fish in the pond.i'm putting my money on we will catch something due to the fact i believe birds do bring fish eggs.just for the record i will say i own 436 acres with a 8' ft. game fence around this property,that has not been broken in to since i had the fence put up.i can't wait to stand on the bank and try,i have been waiting for this day all winter,we've had about 4-5 days of good weather (high70,low 50)so i figure if there is something in there we should catch it.i will write back monday and let you guys know if we had any luck.
