Sorry, but most state laws state that you cannot prevent a fellow owner from access. There is no such thing as "fishing your part". You can't only legally own the pond unless you own own all of the surrounding property. Rights are only granted to the waterline. |

I think that if they own part of the pond, they should only be able to use their part. If they put fish in it and have a boat on there, it would take up more then 5% probably, so I would make sure that you are able to use their boat and fish or have them get rid of all of it! That's just my thinking, though. |

Not without permission of the other party to cross onto their property. |

my skittles are green >.<

hmm i dont think they should do that i mean you own more then half of the pond.....but if their really not doing the pond any harm i'd say let them but if you feel like their damaging it or being kind of rude then i would say confrot them in a polite way. |

If you can keep your 95% of water from inter-mixing with their 5% you will have grounds to pursue the issue.
Realistically you will have very little to pursue the issue with.
Good luck with trying to deal with the situation peacefully. |

so,, could you run a fence across the pond??
could you/would you drain enough water out so that they don't have a pond any more?
if an apple tree grew on the property line so that 5% was on one side of the line,, should that owner be able to pick apples from the entire tree??
If it really matter to you that the neighbors are fishing in your pond, tell them to stay out,, or if you can get along with them,, invite them to go fishing and bring the beer. |

well they should be able to use thier 5% ,but by no means should they abuse it |

all you can do is ask you local government to let that land be added to yours as an easement. otherwise, it's on their property so the whole pond is mutually owned if it's not already owned by the municipality you live in. A lot of people assume they own a lake that's on there land but if it's right on the edge it may not be included in your property. |

That's a tough one. It would depend on the contractual agreements made by both of you I would imagine.
Perhaps you should speak to your lawyer. |

Do you own the fish?! What if they swim on both sides... if their boat is in their side, I don't see why not... |
