What is your experience with garter and bull snakes. I presume that both
eat koi,

* The only snakes we haven't seen eat our fish (before netting the ponds)
were those small green garden snakes.

but I also assume that there is some point at where a koi is
too big for a garter snake to kill.

* We have snakes here as long as 6' and can eat quite large fish, or kill
the fish trying since they eat them head first.

What about Bull snakes? Are
they a threat to big koi?

* Any snake you see in your ponds and just about any snake that will enter a
pond or water will eat fish - or so a wildlife agent told me some time ago.
