We have 2 established ponds and we never feed over the winter.
Do others continue to feed the fish with flakes and pellets all through the winter?

Here is one of the 'ponds'



We live by the coast and my OH seems to collect boats so if they lie around for to long I make something useful out of them

what a lovely picture and a great idea,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

The fish seems to like it and it stays really clear with no effort from us, whereas the other pond that we have got is permanently murky whatever we do to it

it looks really good,,,,,,,,,,,

We have koi and regular goldfish together, my husband keeps the fountain/filter running most of the winter except when cleaning the filter, and we feed about once a week in this weather, and hardly at all when it gets very cold/icy.

We feed sinking pellets over the winter

my dad never feeds his koi or goldfish over winter,they never eat it and it just clogs the filter system

If you have a heated pond there is no reason why you cannot keep feeding the fish as long as the temperature is not too low.
If the water gets too cold the fishes metabolisim slows down, near to dormant so if you feed the fish the food will not be digest and the food will sit and rot in the fishes body causing death.
