fish pond

[fishing81]

I have a small fish pond and have half a dozen 2inch rudd that I would like to give to a mate who has just done a pond and was wondering if it would be okay to move them now or wait till the spring

[woofgang]

Is his pond mature or has he literally just finished it? What are tempslike with you? are the fish still active?

[fishing81]

hi woofgang yes his pond is mature enough,the temp has dropped now and the fish are very sluggish they are only smallfry but still didn't want to lose them

[woofgang]

sorry, thought I had answered this, if they are sluggish i would leave till spring.

Now's the best time to move outdoor fish. Go for it.

If fish are sluggish it is best to leave them until spring or you could cause them to suffer stress and die.Believe me I know this from experience.
