Where do the fish come from?
Question : Where do the fish come from?
I live in Florida and from what I understand the water table is on average about 6′ below ground level. All of the housing communities, golf courses, etc. have these man-made ponds all over the place. The developers dig down 6-8 feet until they hit water and then charge a premium for what’s now “water view” or “water front” property. They also use that excavated soil for fill. Well, after about two years or so ALL of these man-made ponds are teeming with fish…mostly bass. Everyone assumes that the developers are stocking the ponds but I know for a fact they are not. So where do they come from?
I think birds are responsible but not sure. Does anybody know for sure?? any other theories?? Thanks in advance.

You see, when a mommy fish and a daddy fish love each other very much they swim upstream and have a big orgy with other fishes and that’s where fishes come from.
This is true here in MI also. If you make a pond, within a couple years there will be fish, even if no fish are planted in it. They can’t come from ground water as someone suggested. So I think fish eggs stick on birds feet and feathers. Fish eggs are very small and this is the only explaination.
