[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3860287, member: 5412"] It's been urban legend for a long time. From the ODW Web Page: [HEADING=2]FARM POND FISH STOCKING PROGRAM[/HEADING] The Department’s farm pond fish stocking program is designed to help owners of new or reclaimed farm ponds create a fishery by providing largemouth bass, channel catfish and bluegill to qualified pond owners. To receive fish from the Department a number of conditions must be met. All ponds must be at least a half-acre in surface size and the pond’s owner must agree to allow law enforcement personnel to examine the pond prior to stocking and check licenses of those fishing at the pond. Additionally, [B]no fish will be provided for private ponds which charge a fee for fishing,[/B] and no fish will be provided for ponds that have existing fish populations. All applicants to the program must have a current Oklahoma fishing license, even though they may otherwise be exempt. ' The Department offers a free brochure entitled How To Get Fish for Your Farm Pond. [HEADING=3]Eligibility[/HEADING] Any pond owner is eligible to apply if the pond is at least a half-acre in surface size and contains no existing fish populations. [B]There can be no fee charged for fishing the pond and the owner must have a current fishing license[/B].
