We are going with the netting, since leaves are starting to fall into the
pond yet anyways.

That heron will return, so be ready for him. I had heron problems and
more-or-less solved this by reconstructing my pond to have steep drop
offs and 4 foot deep water. Herons don't like that.

Won't work. I've seen the film...the heron dashes up to the pond and
takes a fish near the surface, feet dry.

Netting works
too.
