Interesting question. I had never thought about that. I know that given enough time, nature will stock ponds in a couple of ways. Birds of prey sometimes drop fish they have caught from another pond, and wading birds can transport roe on their feet from pond to pond, as can other animals, like alligators and beavers etc.
However, some of our ponds are fairly new. I wonder if the developer stocked them or just waited until nature did the trick. Without any actual knowledge, my guess is they let nature do it.
