Can you leave fish in a pond over winter?

Asked: Andre Charron, Last Updated:

As long as your pond does not freeze to the bottom and an air hole is provided on the pond's surface, your fish will survive the winter. If your pond is at least two-feet deep, the proximity of the earth to the pond's surface will keep the pond from freezing any deeper than eight inches.
