Can you build a little PVC frame across your pond? I find electrical zip
ties are really handy to secure the net to the frame. Then you could elevate
it 6 inches or so off the ground (on blocks or rocks), which would leave
room for the froggies, but would put a pretty decent damper on leaf
intrusion.

I'm worried about my frogs too. I am thinking that I will just save a
bucket
of muck and put it back in the water for the frogs. My pond is about 3'
deep
though, so I do not think they will need to worry about becoming
frogsicles.

I am trying to figure out how to net the pond, because my leaves are
starting to fall a little now. It is still warm, so I can't just cover the
pond up and trap the froggies in.

I keep the bottom of my pond as clean as I can. Last year all of my
frogs
froze because there wasn't enough muck to bury in. What do I do about
that?
What should I put in the bottom to help them make it through the winter?
I
have a 125 gallon preform with airstones running in the winter and the
fish
have overwintered fine for the last four years.

Thanks,
