There was another similar recent thread about something similar in the last couple of days.

I fully agree with my good friend Bing. We don't know enough about your situation.

Like, how big is your pond? How big is the drain? How big is your emergency spillway?

In general, you shouldn't lose many fish, if any. I don't have any proof, but I strongly feel that very few fish ever go out of drains or spillways on ponds less than several acres, unless you have a major dam breach. If you had a pond that was more than 20-40 acres, with several feet of water in the emergency spillway, I might be concerned.

I'd be far more concerned about clogging the water outlets and causing a disastrous situation that would result in a loss of the fish and the pond.
