Most farm ponds serve a
number of parposes. They
provide water for livestoCk, irri-
gation, spraying, and fire protec-
tion. J. P, Myslik, agricultural ▪ engineering. specialist, Ontario
Department of Agriculture and
Food, Brampton, suggests that a
relatively low investment can
increase the recreational value
of farm ponds by providing good
fishing.
The most sought-after fish for
ponds is the rainbow trout. Most
• spring-fed ponds and a few ponds
fed by runoff alone are suitable
for trout. Ponds with at least
1/4 acre of surface area are
desirable, but smaller ponds can
be used, provided they meet the
temperature requirements.
Pond temperatures at the sur-
face may be as high as 80 degrees
without causing any harm.
However, the temperature at the
bottom should never exceed 70
degrees. Temperatures of 66
degrees or slightly higher are
optimum.
• Another important require-
ment for a trout pond is an
adequate supply of dissolved
oxygen in the water. Generally,
oxygen concentrations below 5
parts per million are unsatis-
factory for trout rearing. Spring
water is often deficient in dis-
solved oxygen, simply because it

There can also be a problem in
winter when the pond surface
freezes. This hinders the move-
ment of oxygen from the air into
the water. Another problem
could be aquatic 'plants. They
are not harmful when alive but
when dead, they decompose and
use up oxygen from the water.
Brook trout and rainbow trout
are suitable for stocking farm
ponds. The brook trout is a
better choice for small ponds,
but the rainbow trout can with-
stand slightly higher water
temperatures. However, if the'''\
pond is not suitable for trout,
it is still possible to have
fish. Bass are able to live in
higher water temperatures' and
do quite well in water temper-
atures of 72 degrees or slightly
higher. Also, bass will re-
produce in a pond, while trout
will not.
Local offices of the Ontario
Department of Lands and Forests
can supply additional Information
on stocking farm ponds.
