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.
I know...I am just frustrated with the water turkey stealing thousands of dollars in fish, although it's possible that otters may have done the most damage.
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). 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 as well.
Ok thanks for the drawing...appreciate that...it makes sense....and what have I got to lose to try it first?
If your pond has shores without vegetation
The pond shores are mostly clear without vegetation.....there are some inlets and such...but heck if i could make even 50%-75% of the pond a no go zone for the flying protected thieves that would seem like a win.
Thanks for the great advice Filippo!
