Hi Big Woods, from Lincoln here. Where in IA are you?

I have never treated FA, just waited for my rooted vegetation to establish and it helps utilize the nutrients necessary for FA growth. How old is the pond, and can you tell us about your aquatic vegetation? Do you have anything going yet other than FA?

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
