I have a 10 ft aluminum that I keep at the pond. I flip it over quickly and jump back. It is a great place for snakes to hang out. I haven't had any really close calls with them.
I once flipped it over and a young skunk came out. I lit out running with it right behind me. I don't think it was really chasing me. When I looked back it had stopped and was turning around and around spraying. Had to laugh.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
