No idea about visibility. I’ve used cord stretched across the pond to t posts about 16 inches above the water. It worked the first year. However, the next year I wound up in serious surgery that kept me from lowering them after the water levels dropped. They got under them and just about cleaned me out.

Hogs and deer bump into the cords and break them. Drought drops the water level enough to let the birds under it. Get a big rain and the cords have to be raised and retired.

I’m finally healthy enough to tackle it and keep up with it. Will definitely be restocking bluegills and fathead minnows in a couple of months.

They won’t be protected if I see one.

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.
