Members cart7 Posted September 8, 2014 Members Posted September 8, 2014 I imagine a fountain in a pond may or may not be an attractant to fish or not. As for a deterrant? I don't see it. The water coming down from the fountain spray would be no different than a rain shower. What it does do is 2 things. Helps oxygenate the water and, depending on the winds at the time, breaks up the water surface creating less light penetration thereby creating a possible edge some predatory fish like bass could use to their advantage when feeding. It would help is there was some sort of underwater structure around the fountain but even without that, the oxygenated water tends to draw baitfish which in turn draws in the predatory feeders like bass.
gramps50 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 I would love to see what the bottom contour is and how deep it is. As soon as I talk the CFO into letting me buy the fish finder for my phone I might know.
