Zep I've seen many cormorants flying over the pond, approaching up to 6/7 yards to the water, turn back and fly away. But my pond is far from where I live so I'm not there often. A friend of mine has his koi 0.2 ac pond in the backyard and he has seen a couple times cormorants trying to land hitting the lines and flying away. Maybe 'cause he used a thinner monofilament, I don't know.
Zep I think a clear monofilament would be the best choice. It s cheaper than braided and I don’t know how braided reacts exposed continuosly to sun, rain and temperatures below zero.
Beautiful! I love pelicans. - I love pelicans in OTHER peoples ponds. Haven't seen any here yet, but they are in the area.
I've watched them feed in Lake Houston. They are amazingly efficient predators.
4 acre pond 32 ft deep within East Texas (Livingston) timber ranch. Filled (to the top of an almost finished dam) by Hurricane Harvey 9/17. Stocked with FHM, CNBG, RES 10/17. Added 35lbs RSC 3/18. 400 N LMB fingerlings 6/18
I have to wonder what a visit like that does to a pond. I imagine those birds are hungry when they arrive and need to fuel up before going further. Even a few hours must be devastating.

Brian, I had mentioned those look my way dancers on the forum awhile back but I never purchased one. I believe it would work even for gbh at feed times. Did you purchase one and try it?
Dear Alcohol, We had a deal where you would make me funnier, smarter, and a better dancer... I saw the video... We need to talk.
