I have had customers on a Pay to Fish Pond call in the Volunteer Fire Dept. They would draft out of your pond and with the deck gun, spray the water back over your pond. That saved over 15,000 lbs of fish in a 2 acre pond.

This also allowed the fire dept to test pumps too. Maybe an option for you. I have also had a customer back their bass boat into the pond (while still attached to the trailer, start the motor trim it up as to produce a spray of water) That with the current helped to stop the fish kill until they were able to look at alternative means be it a surface aeration unit or a long term solution like a bottom aeration unit.

Lastly, a customer of mine called, about to loose all of his fish and wanted to purchase a bottom diffuser unit. I told him that this was not the best option for emergency aeration and described why. He purchased it any ways but to stop the imediate problem, he trotted down to his local tool rental store and rented two trash pumps for the week. While the Lake Bed aeration unit was going through the start up period, he religiously ran the trash pumps and sprayed the water about 6' above the pond's surface to keep oxygen levels ok.

I hope these ideas may help. Good luck.
