LOL. Trust me, you will not get a depredation permit to kill a heron because it is taking your koi.
I know the frustration and anguish of loosing fish to herons. But, herons do what herons do. Herons are not mean, vindictive, or spiteful, they are just programmed to find and eat fish. In addition, they have mystical powers.
Some form of heron protection should be part of the initial design for every pond where you intend to keep fish smaller than about 16 inches. Just like any other aspect of the pond design, if you fail to make proper provisions then you will eventually suffer the consequences.
