A thoughtful koi keeper provides the opportunity for their charges to seek what they need. To force a koi to be in all sunlight, or all shade, or no current ponds or all current ponds is to take the choice away. They will seek what they want if it's there. ( ever notice how there are time you like a quiet shaded place to rest
and yet when your up to it , all the fun and sun you can get can be just what the doctor ordered. I have seen peoples pond where current and air domes charge the pond 24/7. i kinda feel sorry for the koi. i think a timer on some jets with an option to join in a current or relax in a quiet place is appreciated. Sounds like your pond does offer some shade, so i think your ok. One pond i remember seeing had gigantic koi that would stick their eyes in the shade of a lone pine tree's shade. the rest of their bodies would be in sun yet they sought the shade for their eyes. koi will tell you what they want if you have the eyes to see!
