How do fish get into literally every body of water, no matter how remote or isolated?

Question

I’ve never gotten the full explication on this. I hear animals bring the eggs, esp birds but that doesn’t really make sense to me. Don’t the eggs need to be fertilized in the water?

I have seen fish dropped by prey birds. I bet that some fish populations started this way. Many bodies of water are also connected at one point or another even if its just during flooding events.
