I did some research on the pond and found out that the old house next to it was actually used for fire training. My theory is that the pond used to have fish and then when they started fire training the chemicals leaked into the pond and killed the fish. Also, I do not think it can be a "pothole" as Marco described, because it is currently summer and the driest month of the year only has 9 days left, and the pond looks fine.

It looks like the beavers which lived there had clogged all openings for water to come through, but there aren't any definite streams it seems that the water comes out from the ground and the source of the water comes from a giant swamp, which is similar to Nick's friend's pond. A lady which I met at the pond told me that there once were fish in the pond a few years back but are gone now. And the pond water rises a lot in winter around 3 feet.

Hey Bryant,
I live in New England and the pond is around 12 yards by 3 yards. I have yet to discover the depths but I will go out and check when it stops raining, but I am very sure that it is less than 10ft deep. The pond has a sort of grass in the water near the banks similar to cattails but isn't as tall and doesn't have the distinct flower head. The pond also has lilypads, algae/plant (not sure) which grows underwater and floats up to the surface but never goes above the surface (picture of algae/plant below, that is not exactly it I just found a picture online that looked close to it). Also would I have to restock the pond every season as some lakes/ponds do?

Thanks,
Joe

Hey all,
recently I discovered a small pond out in the forest behind be. The pond seems to have no signs of fish life but has many frogs, tons of swarming insects, a few turtles, and lots of algae and plant life, a little too much. Also, the pond looks like to have had beaver which aren't around anymore. I want to revive the pond to bring back fish and have a healthy ecosystem, also so I can go fishing out in my forest. Any idea how to revive this pond?

Thanks,

Joe
