I appreciate the thought Cecil, and I understand why you do it, but fishing line strung along the shore line just does not go with the decor we wish to see out our kitchen and bedroom window.
It's pretty much invisible (you can only see the mono really up close) and very few stakes needed.
I wouldn't have it on my ponds if it was an eye sore. If the stakes are an issue they can easily be camouflaged. To be honest I have a lot of stakes on my small 1/10th acre trout pond but thst is becsuse it's so small it is almost circular so the stakes need to be closer together to follow the shore line. On my 1/2 acre pond I don't need nearly as many.
I've taken pictures of it for an article and you can't see the mono in the picture.
I hear you guys complaining about the herons but there is an effective nonlethal solution.
