do you need to bring your fishing license when fishing a pond?

not if it is on private land.

thanks fatty !
what about community pond?

if it is privately owned then none neeeded

According to the Game Warden for NE Dallas County/Rockwall: If the community pond is accessable by public road then it is considered "public water" and state law applies.

We had some issues last year with non-residents cleaning out our community ponds and the above mentioned warden was called and issued citations for no license and fish violations (size/limit). He also mentioned while he was there that the city police could also enforce these laws.

This was June of last summer.

Good input BrentMeister...and I believe you and your source are correct.
