Ironically, my dad used to own property in Upstate NY and had a stream pass through the property that had a bit more water than that. He told me he started seeing fish swimming in the stream a few years before he sold it. I didn't really believe him. He had the property about 15 years with nothing but tadpoles ever seen in the water. Didn't think it had enough water in it to support fish even though we had a pretty good "pool" on our property (was about the size of a large kiddie pool, good for cooling off when it was hot, much too small for swimming). I suspect someone probably stocked the stream during the early spring or late fall months when my dad would not be at the property (that lake effect snow is NO JOKE).

Edit: Forgot to add that about 10 years ago I would have named it: "Fishless"
