catching fish in large pond
 

I desperatly need to cull about 70-80 8-10 inch Koi out of my pond
I have a seine net but last year when I tried to catch the fish to thin
out the population I had no luck in catchin the Koi, did catch a the
goldfish.and got rid of them then

anyone have an Idea as how to do this without draining the Pond?? the
area the Koi are in is 25x40x3 ft

I have just been successful in removing a dozen or so and transferring them
to my neighbours pond.
Method : I leave a fairly large net with long handle suspended in the
pond. I leave it there for several days until the fish accept it and swim
over and in it. Then I stand well back from the pond and, using the long
handle, whisk them out.

John,

I use a seine net to corral them into a smaller area, then I get in with
them, use a large flat koi net to select the one that I want to take out,
and use a sock net to affect capture. Once in the sock net, I can walk over
to the edge of the pond and get out while the fish is still in the pond, and
take the sock net to the container for treatment, or bagging. The smaller
they are the harder they are to catch.
