Default Losing Fish over wintering

I keep losing fish every winter, today i picked out three fish, one KOI
and two Fan Tail Goldfish. What could be keeping this bad trend going. Any
ideas? Thanks................

==============================
You haven't given us enough information. It could be lack of oxygen under
the ice, poor water quality in general caused by too many fish for the size
of your pond or the fish didn't have enough "fat" reserves to see them
through the winter.
