Stocking your private pond with fish you catch is perfectly legal in Kentucky. IMHO, it's also a complete waste of time. If you want to establish a balanced population of bluegill and bass, one that results in a pond worth fishing, then your best bet by far is to contact your local fisheries biologist, Kerry Prather, and have him help you stock your pond. The cost is minimal, and the results are worth it.
