FWIW I'm a big fan of diversity in the forage base. While BG are good forage, I see other opportunities to utilize the pond resources to convert nutrients to protein for you fish. For example, crayfish and Tilapia (where legal)will happily eat FA and convert it to high protein snacks or.....you can drop some bucks on Cutrine and fight the FA and then drop some bucks on additional forage for your fish like trout. I guess my point is look for ways to use the resources in your pond to your advantage instead of fighting them. Please don't get me wrong, adding additional forage is great, I'm just saying utilize the resources you already have as much as possible first.
