Can you keep out of season fish from a private pond??
My first guess would be no, but I'm curious. I have permission to take fish out of a few private ponds that were stocked by the owner. I've seen videos of people in the U.S keeping largemouth while ice fishing in their private ponds. I'm wondering if we have the same kind of rules here?

As you can see, a pond like mine meets all the criteria above. This is from

Thanks a bunch!!!
This pond is far from any natural water body and is on private land, stocked with fry that were purchased.
