Alien Invasion - I want my pond back !

[KevT]

Around here birds move fish eggs from pond to pond.

Yeah, but Eric's birds like to sit with the sheep instead of swimming in the pond

Eric, the pond is looking good. Sorry for your form happy gov.

Used to be here in Texas, that the state's wildlife and game department would come stock your pond (or tank as we call them too), get this.....FOR FREE!!! That was at least 20 years ago IIRC.

We have a few rules over here. No piranhas, no exotic BS. Just common sense stuff. I'm not sure but I think you can have an alligator if it wanders in there on its own.

Here in TxDon's and my county, they run an add in the paper and tell you when the fish folks will be here and tell you the prices for catfish, bass, etc. You just drive down and buy them.

I don't need to buy them my neighbor built a pond on a dry gully that goes through his place and into my pond so every time it floods I get most of his fish.

i was thinking the same thing, birds do it all the time without paperwork or registration??!!!! Thats one way fish move around and get back in all these small ponds that may dry up in extreme drought yet return a year later.

Yeah, leave it be and nature will take care of it... that and a 5 gallon pail of fish you caught elsewhere.

Parhaps in Ol' Blimey the authorities have put enough paperwork and fines in place that the birds no longer conspire with the fish to provide transportation assistance? :laughing:

Still looks and sounds like the old town resivoir to me, and from your description of how far away it is that fits too. Probaly not though!

Th pond i am talking about it just out past the golf course on that highway ...i forget the name of it? On that same side of the road as the golf course.
