Plot

Gaither's Pond is set at Bill and Gloria Gaither's pond. All of the characters include animals and insects that live around ponds named after their voice actor. The fish and their friends learn life lessons throughout the series.

Characters

Main characters

• Carp Lowry (voiced by: Mark Lowry): Carp Lowry is a yellow fish who often gets into trouble including making up stories for the pond's newspaper. He is usually the main character of the episodes. Carp also is pretty childish which leads him into even more trouble.
• Big Bass Bill (coiced by: Bill Gaither): Big Bass Bill is the mayor of Gaither's Pond. Bill is very wise and is always talked to when someone needs to talk to or is going through a hard time.
• Vestal Gooseman (voiced by: Vestal Goodman): Vestal Gooseman is a white goose with black hair on the top of her head. She is another well-respected wise inhabitant of Gaither's Pond. Vestal is happy all the time and sings with her family.
• Bullfrog Younce (voiced by: George Younce): Bullfrog Younce is a wise frog who wears black rubber wading boots. Bullfrog is also another well-respected inhabitant of Gaither's Pond.

Minor characters

• Gloria Gladiola (voiced by: Gloria Gaither): Gloria Gladiola is a sunflower growing on a tiny island in the middle of Gaither's Pond. She is seen in every episode except The Lure Depths. Oftentimes when she makes a comment, the other characters would exclaim that they "didn't notice her there". The irony is that, as a flower, she stays in one place.
• Guppie Penrod (voiced by: Guy Penrod, Benjy Gaither (laughing part in the first episode): Guppie Penrod is a small fish who is still little. In the first episode, he almost bit the fish hook.
• Swannette Paschal (voiced by: Janet Paschal): Swannet Paschal is a white swan who is friends with Carp Lowry and is mostly seen with him.
• The Beavers (voiced by: Marshall Hall, Benjy Gaither, and Aaron Wilburn): The Beavers (Bert, Buck, and their leader, Machine Tooth Kelly) are always trying to take control over the pond but they never succeed.
• Taylor (voiced by: Taylor Mason): Taylor is a salamander that appears in The Legend At Gaither's Pond. He is hyperactive and is okay with being so small. Taylor calls himself a "little guy."
• The Cornfield 4 (voiced by: Harold Carrethers, John Battle, Rufus Carrethers, J. D. Sumner): The Cornfield 4 are a group of crows who sing Dig A Little Deeper in The Lure Depths.
• The Martins (voiced by: Joyce Martin-Sanders, Judy Martin-Hess, Jonathan Martin) : The Martins are a group of birds who sang Out of His Great Love in The Lure Depths.
• Jesse Frogman (voiced by: Jesse Dixon): Jesse Frogman is an orange frog who has black hair and a black mustache. He sings It's A Highway To Heaven in Fishtales and in the Gaither's Pond Sing-A-Long DVD. He appears in every episode after 2000.
