Default raccoons - how to protect summer ponds

Hi..

For 3 years now I've some trouble with raccoons. They come
at night to catch and eat my fish. Does anyone know how to
protect summer ponds _effectively_ against those
interesting little fish lovers? :-)

======================
Some people have success with electric fences and others with those motion
sprayers. A big dog would help. We use those almost invisible fine black
bird nets and have 3 dogs so raccoons are not a problem here.

Coons aren't the only thing that could be eating your fish. We had water
snakes, bullfrogs, herons, kingfishers and snapper turtles eating ours until
we got the nets.
