Looks like the next 3-4 days will be the same.. ======================== Here too and we're having a horrible problem with a GBH. It's learned to fish through the birdnets where he can reach the water surface. The inground ponds are fine but he's now cleaning out the tanks behind the house. I'm in the process of draining them down now so he can't reach the water surface. He got most of the GF; Shubunkins, Orandas and fantails. With the constant predator problems we're seriously considering getting rid of all the fish and letting nature have the ponds. The 720g tanks can be sold or used for waterlilies. The other problem with the fish are they're no longer profitable since the market it glutted. I'm sitting here with about 250 beautiful young koi and no market for them. You need to build a raised "tent" frame over your pond to keep the net well above the water line. Just use cheap wood and cobble one together. Buddy of mine in Sedona has a 30M gal pond with lots of local Herons. He has also discovered that they don't like stepping on the netting, so might also make sure there is neeting on the edges. -- To reply by email, remove the word "space" |
