Nope if you have the typical layout. Here is the key rule:
Fishermen may fish in any lake, canal or stream, whether natural or man-made,
which can be reached without crossing over or trespassing upon any privately
owned property or golf courses
This definition includes your own property as private property. So if a stranger would have to cross your property to reach the pond it is a no fishing pond. The only ponds which are open for fishing are those that typically are on a major road.
If you go to the link given in #2 you can see the list of ponds where you may fish. If it isn't on that list, then no fishing is permitted.
