I have been advised that I need some fish in my deliberately fishless
wildlife pond to control the mosquitoes. My neighbour has offered
sticklebacks. But now, probably because of the lack of fish, I have very
large numbers diving beetles and water boatmen on the surface - which I
would guess would eat any larvae.

I would rather not have fish cos I don't want have to have pumps and
filters etc. Anyone any experience of how well my predatory insects
might control mosquitoes?

At a Buddhist temple in Northern Thailand, the monks referred to mosquito
larvae as "frog food!"

I'll be putting some Mosquito Fish, from the County Vector Control folks,
in what remains of my former Koi pond. They'll have to shift for
themselves.
