In Texas, there are no regs regarding what I do in privately owned water. I don't know what it would be in the creek that I have but figure, since it is not public water, I can do as I please. I believe I could pump water to my pond since it originates on a neighbors land. I doubt that I could get away from contaminating it though.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
