I've heard that Ice skating on a lake freaks them out aswell, will this not
be the same as drilling? 6-1/2 dozen?

Ok, so how do you keep the ice hole open in a small pond over winter?

You sit on the ice and hope your ass is hot enough to melt a hole...you know
you've gone all the way through when you start feeling strange sensations of
Koi nibbling on your scrotum...
But seriously...

With an airstone.....turned up full ball!

Here, in the middle of Pennsylvania where it gets very cold, I leave the
waterfalls on all winter. That keeps a nice hole in the ice. I've
never lost a fish to the cold.

Apparently not, because I know ponders that have (had) to used drills, and
the fish came thru fine.

Water movement with a pump, air stone & air pump, slow circulation, stock
tank heater, there are many ways to keep a hole, or more, open in the ice.
