Just searching for some suggestions on weed control !I have a pond that's about a quarter acre and most of it runs about ten feet .The shoreline go's out from the bank about three feet and then drops to the average depth . The coontail and moss are starting to get a little excessive but I'm not quite sure how to get it back into a reasonable amount of forage and cover for the fish without endangering the fish .It's a small pond but produces some really nice fish . The hatch last year and from what I can see this year were very good .By the way it's spring fed at one end and does have a spillway at the other end so the waterdoes move though slowly .Thanks in advance for the suggestions !
hmm you dont wantta kill all of it right? so Chemicals are out of the question How about raking some out?? or use grass carp like previously stated.
call your local DEC they can point you in the right direction for the carp but i would still try the Aqua Shade it works best when added eary spring before the weeds take hold
its a blue dye that filters out UV rays to stop unwanted weeds and its supposed to be fine for fish i have a friend thats been using it for years
its powerfull stuff about 1 cup per 1/4 achre pond i believe n dont get it on your skin cuz it doesn't come off
