Help With Pond Fish

Hi - I'm afraid that I am a complete beginner here, but I have a pond (60'x40') that was established 2.5 years ago, It is essentially wild with no artificial assistance, and I wanted to get some smaller coarse fish in like Dace.

 

Can anyone advise the best way to start this process, or contact details for someone who could supply fish in small quantities?

 

Thanks

Might be worth contacting your local Environment Agency fisheries department. You don't need EA consent to stock your garden pond, but 60'x40' is about a quarter the size of some club waters I've fished! The EA will be able to tell you whether you need consent and should be able to supply details of suppliers in your area.
