I've got one large imported Koi that spends a good deal of time out of the water, but I know there is no way that I could ever stop her. Have you tried asking this question at www.koivet.com? Just go to the community forum link at the top of the page. There are some true Koi and Carp experts over there and I bet one of them has run across this problem before. There are several good articles on that site about Koi skin cancer, too. Good luck. That's a tough question!

Since this is a pond, you should have some pond plants in the water anyways, plants like lilly pads will do wonderfully, and when they bloom, it looks magnificant. Not only do the lilly pads provide protection from the sun, and predators over-head, it also provides a landing spot for some insects, a perfect opportunity for your fish to get some extra food.

Make sure the sun is shaded from the pond. I would put shade cloth over mine and take it off after the sun quit shinning on it directly.
