I have heard of some people using a statue of a big heron to scare off the smaller ones.  Kind of like using a fake owl or hawk to scare away pigeons.  Has anybody tried this?

Hey guys.  We converted our swimming pool into a pond and started having a few flying visitors investigating the fish.  A blue heron and some large owls.  I netted the pond but access was an issue so I raised it to about four and half feet above the water.  This works keeping the flying predators away and we have great access to the fish.  Just an idea.

I see netting has been suggested with would work. You could also use garden twine set up on bamboo canes at about 6" apart and forming a chequed board,and a foot above the water. This allows you easier access to attend to your fish without having to take up the netting to get to your fish
You could try a statue of a heron available in Pond Stores set close to the pond edge. Heron are territorial so to avoid confrontation another heron will not land in an area already occupied.
Anything is worth a try to save the fish
