I encourage you not to stock goldfish into a pond...they can grow, reproduce, not a good situation. Unless you are feeding fish in a cage or tank, don't use goldfish as bait or forage - why waste carrying capacity on a goldfish population that's overgrown the gape of your predators? Good question, but I would advise against this.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
