Hi,
Yes, I see lots of coon tracks alomg the sides of the pnd too! The largest orange and white Koi, was the one I found with it's tail chewed off and he was laying up on the edge of the pond :( Thid one would come nearer than any of the other ones:) I would start throwing out their food and this one would come running, LOL swimming over and just eat like crazy! Those darn herons, I HATE THEM! Yes, I also they are protected by law, BUTR I HATE THEM ANYWAY!!! Maybe I will take up bow n arrow??When I get these casts off! Yes, they are pretty, but not when they are walking two at a time trying to herd up my fish! We are going to use the bobcat and just go straight down the sides of the pond so the buggers won't be able to walk on the sides :) There are hundreds of those UGH bullheads in there, gives me the willies when I walk into the pond to trim the pond lilies and I can feel them brush up against my legssssssssss, ACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK, why don't the herons feast on them? They could all eat non stop for months!! A do me a great favor too!! The pond is so large that netting it is out of the question. I can't wait until the water temps rise to see if I might have babies, hee hee, So far I took at net last summer and got baby fidh about 3 different kinds, put them in the kiddie pools, NO KOI :( sun fish and more of those bullheadsssssss, sigh
