That's a damn big pond! Reminds me of my grandparents fish pond, that thing was the size of a swimming pool! And like 8 feet deep!

With a pond like that you need some model submarines!

A couple of R/C destroyers would be good.

It would take a big fish to eat some of my subs!

You'll need a few 1/16 scale Stalag Luft type Guard towers around the perimeter, fitted with PIR activated search lights to scare off any local hungry moggies, or scuba diving foxes..
Failing that, has anyone ever built an airsoft capable 1/16 88mm, or Pak 40 (also PIR activated, and automated!) to scare off unwanted intruders. Those who are not so coy about snaffling Koi, and eating, your cherished finny friends?

Now there's a challenge!

Have you seen how big Sturgeon can get? I've seen one when diving - it made the Pike look friendly!
