Fishing

Do I need a fishing license to fish on my private pond?

As long as your pond is self contained, not a result of damming a public stream or subject to over-flow from public water whereby your private pond would be stocked from time to time by surrounding public water, then you do not need a fishing license and no size or bag limits apply.
