Now we toss about 50 8-10 inch trout every spring at $2 a piece. No netting, etc. They are too smart for the raccoons and the heron. Eagles love them though.

If you build the walls of the pond at a 90 degree drop off, coons can't get to the fish. The otter is a tough one though. I can understand the move to trout.

Get some pics of the Kingfisher for us.
