Is anyone else not getting fish to naturally spawn in ponds they've made? They show up if I throw some bait in, but never show up on their own.
 
I havent been having this problem.

How large are your ponds? Maybe they are "too small" to just spawn fish but large enough for them to spawn with bait? That is my only guess.
My smallest I think is 4x4 and will still spawn.

How many do you have as well? I have my 1 small one and 1 very large one. Occasionally one will have a fish and the other will not. Just from spawn rates i guess.
 
This is my single pond. I have a larger lake, but it does spawn (river not pond) fish.

i've found some fish in my made-ponds, it's possible that yours is slightly too small? (unsure if size matters, just confirming that they do spawn fish though)
 
I’ve made ponds with terraforming and they spawn fish! I’ve had them about the same size as yours as well as bigger and smaller. I’ve had issues where river fish are in my ponds that aren’t on the first level (even a pond that my island started with)
