New York residents can back me up here, or disagree, but that state goes too far IMHO. They have all kinds of restrictions on private ponds including bag and size limits even if there is no inlet or outlet, and the fish did not come from the state. There's something about draining and reclaiming your own private pond too they have control over.
I guess all the state are different. Something that drove us nuts in the aquaculture associations that wanted them to come up with similar regs across the board for health inspections and transporting fish.
