   How do you stop herons from eating pond fish?

   • A second option to stop herons from eating pond fish is to try to install pond fencing or wire around the perimeter of the pond. If you can stop herons from getting to the sides of the pond, they won’t be able to effectively hunt for fish. Although sometimes more effective than pond netting, fencing is more noticeable and harder to maintain.

   Can a Heron Fish at a low water level?

   • However, we'd recommend implementing grab holds or other safety precautions if you opt for this design to prevent other species such as hedgehogs from risk. Lower water levels make it harder for herons to fish from the edge of your water features, so a level 60 cm or more below the bank can be helpful.

   Do you need a fish shelter for a heron pond?

   • If you have a pond with no natural cover, especially if the pond is shallow, we recommend a fish shelter as this will make hunting much harder for predators. As they won’t directly deter herons, fish shelters are best mixed with other deterrents, such as pond netting, decoys, or automatic repellers (water or sound).

   Why do herons need a pond net?

   May 5, 2014 · Our solution (so far successful) is criss crossing the pond with fishing line, through large eyelets screwed into the pond sides at low level. Not the best looking, but easier on the eye than a net. Bought the line at a local fishing store where they said that it is commonly used to deter thieving birds.
