How do ponds etc become naturally stocked with fish? I'm not sold on the idea of fish eggs getting stuck to wildfowl's legs. It may have happened at some point, but I'm sure it's highly unlikely.
So how does it happen? Other than floods or angler assistance, how do fish become established in virgin waters?
One theory I've considered is that fish eggs can be washed along underground chalk aquifers, but not all terrain is chalk based is it?
Anyone got any theory or fact to offer?
