The theft of fish from the pond by herons is one of the most challenging problems facing pond keepers today. Netting the pond has been the traditional answer. However, netting is unsightly, the plants become entangled in the mesh and the net must first be removed before any maintenance work can be carried out on the pond.

Herons are wading birds. Typically a heron will land near the pond and either stand at the pond edge or wade into the water before catching its prey. A Heron Guard around the edge of the pond will prevent the bird from wading into the water and will hamper the heron's movements at the edge of the pond. In most cases, the Heron will quickly become frustrated and fly off to find an easier meal.

A Heron Guard consists of vertical rods placed around the perimeter of the pond supporting three equally spaced strands of fishing line. In this way, the fishing line circles the pond three times at different heights. Some extra strands stretched diagonally across the pond provide additional protection. These diagonal strands are stretched from the top of the rods in single strands.

The rods are made from quality aluminium which will not rust. The rods are black in colour to make them as unobtrusive as possible and the three grooves spaced evenly along each rod are for easy location of the fishing line. There is a rubber ferrule on the tip of each rod for eye safety.
