best ways to capture koi....

[maryland_ponder]

In my pond i generally need my daughter to help herd the fish towards me then I can net them. What do you people with very large ponds do to net or catch your fish?

[virginiakoi]

Usually when I feed them they will all gather near me and I can gently net the ones I am trying to get.

Use a big net for starters. I also have siene net I can throw in the pond to cut down the area they can swim in. Generally though I can just net them gently without too much trouble.

the use of a seine net works best. Collects them for easy netting, less stress and injuries.....

A net in general should be used to guide a koi into a tub etc...but generally 2 things are needed to safely net a fish that is the proper sized koi and sock net for moving fish.
