The end of summer is time to think ahead about your koi and goldfish during the winter. Should the fish be brought indoors during the winter or left outside in the pond. There are pros and cons for both over wintering methods. The team at WaterWorksPonds will be happy to help determine which option is best for you.
There is currently not a recognized over wintering program for our zone 3 climate. Majority of the information available in magazines or the internet pertains to the milder winter of the Northern United States where majority of the market demand is for winterizing pond equipment. By provincial code most ornamental ponds in Alberta are less than 24 inches deep. Over the years WaterWorksPonds has experimented every winter with varying degrees of success over wintering koi and goldfish outdoors. With trial and error comes experience. First hand experience that you and your pond fish can benefit from.
