It would most likely clog too fast and would be more trouble than it's
worth.
Aside from removing them to a tank, the best solution is to provide a
shelter
for them in the pond.
======================
The calmest and shallowest area would work well when full of bushy plants
like hornwart and parrots feather tangles. I use a few potted pickerel weed
or something tall to keep them in place. I always see fry in such areas. I
removed some eggs to try and raise more than a few this year. I'm really
enjoying watching them grow. :-) One pool is all butterfly koi fry, some
at least should be diamond scales.
