Default Missing fish in pond

We have a large pond and have 3 generations of fish which we feed
daily. Last year 10 surfaced in the spring and we assumed they died
of lack of air so this winter we made sure that air holes in the ice
were kept open. This year we have not seen one fish. NONE!! There
were about 200 fish last year. The neighbour put in a few bass one
year and they have multiplied over the years. How could that many
fish disappear without a trace? Would a snapping turtle clean out a
pond? The pond is about 50 x 100 feet. We are completely puzzled.

What kind of fish were you feeding? If you were feeding bait fish then the
bass ate them. If you had a snapping turtle he would have been dormant in
the winter. Try throwing out something that floats and makes a little noise
which will attrach whatever predator is in the lake. Just make sure the
hooks are sharp. Bass are very good fried.
