That is a beautiful pond! We would have to tear down our fence to get a backhoe in there... plus we had fun digging... :) | |

| Well if you had fun digging more power to ya. Just as an aside there is digging equipment that is designed to fit through a standard fence gate. Of course with an extend-a-hoe you just reach over the gate  |

| Koi are cold blooded, pretty much like our native carp. They survive out in the cold. They hibernate in the winter. The pond is deep enough that the water never freezes at the bottom, never lost a fish to the cold yet!! | |

| How about coons and such have they even stolen a fish? That's what I would worry about here with a pond. |

| The dog eats the coons. lol... We have had possums try to go fishing but the dog takes care of them too. The only thing he won't go after is the skunks... they taught him a lesson a few months ago... he now stands from afar and gives a deep bark, that's my cue to bring out the pellet gun. | |
