Pond is in our neighborhood park and we would like to make the pond more attractive with less weeds and consider stocking with a few trout for kids. Would appreciate any help from the forum identifying the weeds as well as suggestions on how to control or get rid of these weeds (herbicides, raking, grass carp, etc...). Goal is aesthetics first and fishing second. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
