This is all good information, thanks! Here's the twist, I want to add more structure to make it harder for Otters to get the fish. In my 50 plus years I have learned that shooting predators makes room for another predator. I'm not far from a river and Otters show up from time to time. All predators look for the easiest meal, a pond with little structure is easy pickings. Everything in nature is about balance, I'm looking to tip the balance more in favor of the fish. Otters are great fun to watch, anyone want one? I'll address one, put a stamp on it and mail it to you. Open with caution!
