Hi Dampflippers
I have caught the goldfish, but like I said before the others are on the bottom and there are lots of plants I don't want to disturb. The new pond will be raised and not suitable for wildlife but they may decicde otherwise. Will post a photo for the area marked for the new pond.

Just be patient I reckon. You'll catch them eventually and there is no immediate need to move them.

Hi jeff :hi:

My hubby has suggested that... He is going nowhere near my liner with a hook.
The fish have never seen a maggot so they would be to shy to catch with a line. They are black so impossible to see.

This is the site for the new pond.

The wildlife pond has no filter or pump and has lots of underwater plants. The Frogspawn is developing they will be swimming around soon if the frost don't get them. I will just wait and hope some of the young newts have made it through to summer. The young newts should leave the pond in summer. The water will go back as soon as the fish are caught so will only be drained for about 30 minutes.

Thanks for all of your suggestions...I will keep you posted on how things go after the new pond is finished. :t: :t:

Best way to catch a fish in an area like that is to use a large net, depending on the size of the fish of course. Some species are actually cool with you picking them up with your bare hands too.
