Default How Do I Catch Babies?

The koi in my 3 yr old pond have spawned! Woo Hoo! Didn't even know it
until I saw a 1 1/2 inch fish swimming amongst my much larger koi.

Turns out there are at least 4 that have made it past the big guys and
gotten large enough to swim more or less freely.

I want to put them in their own pond so they can grow up without harrassment
(or ingestion) by the big guys and gals. The wife even came up with the
second pond idea. I guess I have her hooked now.

Any ideas on how to catch these little guys out of a heavily planted 2500
gallon pond? Are there "fish traps" out there that anyone has had success
with?

Either post to here, or drop me a note at (remove the "spam")



You can do what I do. Feed them by hand until they are accustomed to it, then
one day while feeding them, just scoop them out with a net.
