No issues with private ponds here, do as you wish.
There is/was a State program, where if you were selected, the State will come in and build a pond on your property. If that's the case, the pond belongs to the State, and well...
If your property is connected to any State waters, all rules and regulations apply. Hit any State waters with a fishing pole, even on your own property, you better have your gestapo papers ready!
If you have a creek running thru your property, the water and creek bed belong to the State. Anyone can navigate State waters even if the creek runs thru your property. As long as they are in the water, or in the creek bed, it is not trespassing.
