Читать книгу Fishing For Dummies - Greg Schwipps - Страница 62

Natural and manmade ponds dot the landscape. They range from farm ponds steam-shoveled out of a valley as a source of drinking water for animals, to depressions left from a glacier’s path that have filled with rainwater, to strip pits — stone-lined quarries left behind after mining companies move on. Ponds can support a lot of fish if carefully managed, and they provide a safe fishing environment for millions of anglers. Some ponds have fish populations that are carefully monitored by humans; others have wilder, more natural populations that self-regulate. Contrary to popular belief, it’s a myth that birds spread fish eggs from pond to pond. If fish are present, at some point, someone put them there.
