Hahahah...great story and thanks for the laugh!

That has happened to me, too. It is undeniably a ticklish sensation. I wound up sitting in the pond laughing myself silly. Strangely enough, the fish still went after my toes but ignored the rest of me.

Hi Pcan. We used to have a 13,000 gallon pond with Koi in sizes from about 6 inches to just over 2 feet and I used to get into the pond to remove the stones that the kids would throw over the fence. The larger Koi would surround and nip at me and I just loved it. LOL A friend of mine came over one day when I was remove some stones and when he saw me in there with my babies he went home and the following day he was putting in his own pond. :0)

Yours Koily, Lorraine

Gardening here under the oaks we have lots and lots of oak leaves. Inevitably some end up in the pond water. Generally I scoop them off the top with a net, but we just finished up a spell of heavy wind and rain. Lots of tree debris on the bottom of the pond. I was trying to use the net to scoop up stuff, but stopped because the silly fish kept swimming into the net. So now, I sit on the ground and scoop up debris with my hand. The fish swarm around my fingers and nibble at them also. It is so funny. I swear they come dashing when they see me poking around in the water.
