Default Little Pond Report: Two-Toed pond?

Does anybody know anything about this little pond: https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Two...9e7e060ef28fad
More importantly: Do you think there's any fish in it?

I normally wouldn't ask, but it's NAMED and on the map and everything. I even drove past it the other week and saw someone trying to fish it so now I'm super curious.

It looks like it'd be a perfect little spot to shore fish for panfish.

I drive by that pond every day. Never seen a fish rise..I often wonder though if it could be stocked. If fish could survive in it.

I've done a little research with google maps and It's deep enough and big enough that it doesn't freeze through all the way during the winter.
As far as I can tell it's been one big 'body of water' for about 3 years now?

I can't find anything about stocking or regulations (I might not have looked hard enough).

It might have been hit by the bucket brigade in that time though? Who knows? What does the bucket code of conduct and ethics advise us about ponds like these?

I've seen a few fisher people there as well. Not sure if any fish are in there. I doubt it. If I see anyone fishing I'll stop and ask if they've caught anything.

I live in Tuscany have seen 5 people fishing there at one time. I even saw some guys taking an ice auger out there in the winter!! There was post on a community Facebook page with this picture of supposedly a net one of the fishermen at the pond had with Prussian Carp in it.



I walked down there the other day to see if anyone was fishing and catching anything. No one was fishing but I did see this little fish swimming in circles near the edge. I'm not sure what kind of fish it is and it looks like it has something attached to its head which would explain the circles? Anyone have any ideas?

Digging out that old post again. The last reply was before the new fishing restrictions in Calgary I think. Do you know if it is still allowed to fish there, and if the stocking regulations are those of unlisted lakes in the ES1 zone?

Thanks,

Sacha
