Be careful there. I've got an AP Environmental science exam coming up and here's what comes straight out of the textbook "During hot weather or drought, this nutrient overload produces dense growths or "blooms" of organisms such as algae and cyanobacteria and thick growths of aquatic plants. These dense colonies of plant life can reduce lake productivity and fish growth by decreasing the input of solar energy needed for photosynthesis. When the algae die, their decomposition depletes dissolved oxygen. This oxygen depletion can kill fish and other aerobic aquatic animals"

Thanks for the replies. Yea I was really wondering about all the fish in the golf course ponds. You know, why would a golf course stock its ponds when they don't want people fishing them? I remember my teacher one day saying that fish get into small ponds because fish eggs stick to the legs of waterfowl who are in a river or somthing, and the eggs come off when the birds land in another body of water. I'm not to sure about that though.

I live in maryland, and our department of natural resources gives us info on trout stockings. But my question is where do the other fish species come from that are in the local ponds and lakes. I'm almost 100% sure that all ponds and lakes in MD are manmade, so how do the crappie, catfish, bluegill, bass, and other freshwater fish get into these bodies of water :-?

I guess some golf courses are more serious about trespassing than others. I was jus scoutin a golf course pond, carryin no fishing gear, and a course employee came riding up to me in his golf cart and told me to leave. Maybe this was because i rode my bike up to the pond i don't know.
