Basically, my dad decided to take our nice little pond, and add a flowing river and waterfall. I was just wondering if there were any pond fish that like a current, and would live happily in the river segment of the pond.

How deep is the stream going to be? I have a 16 ft stream, but it's way to shallow for fish to swim in, and they'd have to jump up the waterfall too (sorry, no salmon here :lol: )

All other ponds i've seen, the stream is too shallow for fish, except maybe minnows of some sort, and my bet is, they'd end up in the main pond in a short time.
 
I think it will be 1'-1.5'. And I think you are right about ending up in the main pond very quickly. I'll just experiment and see if any of them like to say up there.
