Thanks Filippo....I am still toying with the idea of netting.
(which btw depending on the court could violate the MBTA)
https://www.industrialnetting.com/ov6200-168-standard-duty-bird-net.htmlI just can't continually allow water turkey to destroy thousands of dollars of investment every year....
but not sure how practical netting would be on a 3 acre pond.
The reflective tape seemed to work relatively well...
Whoa Zep! Don't you want to cover a 3 acre pond with a net
??
If reflective tape won't work try the lines way before thinking about that surely expensive and not practical net.
For my 1 acre rectangular shaped pond I think I've spent the equivalent of no more than 50/60 bucks (12 rebars and 1600 yards of monofilament line).
As you can see in the picture lines are enough wide to let me fish. They don't need to be accurately placed, they just need to stop the cormorants from landing and taking off comfortably and being annoyed and frightened by not seeing the lines well.
If your pond has shores without vegetation you can comfortably plant the rebars on the shore and move them to your liking if and when you need more space to fish more comfortably or for any other reason and put them back when you leave.
