Yes, my thought is to put a leash on it.
However, most folks stocking FHM have no predators in the pond when doing so. In this case, would turtles and snakes still be a problem to it floating out in deep water? Still makes me wonder if the FHM would not use it because everyday their environment would change. That is, one day on the north shore, the next on the east shore, etc....
edit-
I know it isn't hard to just weight it down and keep it simple. The notion of changing water levels had me wondering how to cope with it. Is it better to let the water levels change around the spawning surface, or keep it at a constant level and let it move around.
