You don't have to worry much about the eagles. They prefer dead or
nearly dead meat. But if your pond is the only place around with
fish, the ospreys will find a way. However, if posts are being put up
for them, it's likely they've got plenty of good territory right at
their homes to fish.

Wait and see what happens. If you start to lose fish, think about
netting the pond.


At least I can take a net from deck to fence, so it is over head if need
be. ~ jan
