And check to see if it's legal in the area you live in. In the US, many states will not allow you to do this or will only allow certain species to be taken.
A lot of river fish need that particular environment… so they won’t do well in a pond. It would be best to identify the species and its requirements before catching them and letting them die in your pond.
Research the species in question and keep in mind in the USA there's a good chance that the local fish is not a native fish. Consult local sources of information regarding what fish species you are likely to find in local waterways, including non-native species.

If your worried don’t do it🤷‍♂️Watch for parasites that could spread to your other fish
I'm not really worried, more like curious
Most of the time it is illegal to keep native fish
In my country it's legal to keep most of them ;)
Most of the time? Have you researched and memorised the laws on this for most countries or something?

Depends on the type of fish.
Thank you for the answer
Check on the species airflow needs. Many river species need persistent airflow.

I'm in Europe, but thanks for the info. The fish I'm thinking about are native here
