I never have. We swim in the pond a lot, and it just didn’t seem like a good idea. I dress a fair number of perch, and double bag the skins, bones, and guts. After a few days in August it still gets pretty ripe. I’ve thought about dumping them in the woods. I’m sure the coons would love them. Compost for the garden?
I imagine this has been covered before. Sorry if my weak searching skills make this a repetitive post. Just seeing what other folks that swim in their ponds do.
Thx

9 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
