I've got leaf netting over the pond so I'm not worried about the fish,
yet. I usually take it off after all the leaves have fallen but may wan

to rethink that this year.
==========================
We had one last winter that completely cleaned out the 150g in ground pon
d.
This spring we removed this small pond and filled in the hole. We gave a
way
all the fish in the in ground 800g pond and removed the net. GBHs ignore

ponds with no fish. Now I'm trying to find a home for all the koi in the

2000g pond and three 720g above ground tanks behind the house. It's too
much work for us at our age and the cost of hiring pond Caretakers more t
han
we want to spend. I'll leave the two ponds out front for the frogs and
turtles and sell or put away the liners and tubs out back.
