Here in Missouri the Conservation Dept will put a few paddle fish in your pond if you let them then they will come back and harvest the eggs from them at some point and pay you good money for the service, how they plan on harvesting the eggs is beyond me, I fish in a pair of local large pond, small lakes that they have put them in, you never see them and they are both overgrown with pond weeds and moss, pretty much to the point of not being able to fish them through the hot part of the summer, only in early spring and late fall, but the fishing is great with bass and crappy mix.
