They were owned by the home owner's association of the neighborhood I lived in, so they were not privately owned ponds... They had no fish in them for 3 or 4 years before I starting putting fish in. Never got one complaint, just lots of thanks. One was owned by a Pepco power company. It was a very small retention pond. I used it to raise forage fish. So no making private pond owners angry with unwanted stockings.
