Golf course ponds: What fish?

A reason that fish are planted in golf course ponds is to keep the biting
bug population down. I enjoy golf and also enjoy looking at the large
lunkers in the ponds. Maybe some of those fish eat my golf balls and that's
why they are so fat.

I finally asked my husband about this, as he's a dedicated golfer and
now works at his favorite course.

In our state, the DNR raises fingerlings in there, seines them out and
uses them for stocking. Golf courses are perfect, as most of their
ponds are so shallow they freeze to the bottom in winter, keeping
trash fish from being a problem.

And talk about plenty of clearance for a backcast!! I hear that in most
course ponds, there are some lunkers that spend their lives in the deep
brush (especially if there is an overgrown island) and who have never been
fished for in their lives. How does one get permission to cast in a golf
course pond?
