Anybody ever find bass in a beaver pond?

[WTL]

My apartment neighbors the woods where the old state mental hospital graveyard is located. It has a bunch of graves from the 1820s, but I was walking through there the other day and also saw a pretty decent sized beaver pond with standing timber and assorted laydown pads and a soft mud bottom. I was able to see minnows in the shallows near the water chesnut, but unable to see any larger fish.


My question is this; can the average beaver pond, say 1/3 acre in size, looks to be from 3-5 feet deep, sustain a population of gamefish, notably bass? Or would the possibility of a dam breakage and subsequent loss of habitat preclude any populations from getting started? Anybody have any success fishing beaver ponds before?
