My former neighbor uses greenhouse screen to cover his new pond at his new
house, since an egret always hang out on the power pole above the pond. His pond
does not have any water plants. I would have to lift up the screen to view the
Koi.
My other acquaintances use car canopy to cover their ponds. None of them have
water plants.

I have water plants in my pond. I have as much affection for water plants as
fish. Covering the pond is not an option.

Maybe it's a stupid question--you either have netting or plants in the
pond, but not both?
