lost a large bf koi and other things

a lot of fresh water induces spawning. and I know fish will jump for insects.
insects get knocked down during storms. electrical charge leaking could goose fish
in water. but dont have any facts putting those together. my last jumper before I
netted the pond tighter than a drum was an Orfe. he went out thru a corner that
wasnt well attached. I dont remember any storm. just spring altho he was the only
orfe in the pond. Ingrid

Ingrid,
Have you ever known of severe storm activity churning up the water and
agitating them into a leap?

usual reason for jumping koi at this time of year.... spawning. stubby
tailed ones
can jump higher and further than bttflys. BTW, shelves are one way to
discourage
jumping. the deep the pond the more omph they can gather on the way up.
