Default So far we got the problem solved we think

So far we got the problem solved we think....
The croc head wasn't to good a heron perched on it the very next day obviously they don't know what a croc is here in Alberta....
Tried Pond Blue but that didn't seem to slow them down...
A fellow told me that the Herons don't land in water but on land and walk in which is true as we observed. And if a person surrounds the pond/dugout with a rope or wire or twine about a foot of the ground along the edge they cant walk into the water because they cant step over something...... Well we tried it and Ill be damned, it seems to have worked, none in the water since. Its been a couple of weeks since we've seen on there.
So if you have problems with them it might be the answer... The buggers eat and killed about 100 2 yr old trout....
sst
