Mac are you sure all the fish are gone?

I had the same problem and thought ALL my fish were gone too.Come to find out even some of the biggest koi/goldfish can hide in the smallest crevices.Out of about 30 fish we had more than half were still alive after our visitation.We've had two large spawns over the past two years that we can't even count how many fish we have.The small guys can really hide.

The sticks with revolving mirrors or fences around the pond just don't work.The only real deterant is hiding places(cinder blocks,milk crates etc.) and lots of floating vegetation.A good criss-crossing pattern of fishing line over the pond is the best deterant but not very asthetically pleasing.
