catching fish in large pond
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. Les. "John Rutz" wrote in message ...

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. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "John Rutz" wrote in message ...
