Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Balance of plants in the environment Chara

I've had the same thing with FA - from shore to shore across the bottom as far as I can tell, and so much on the surface that it's almost impossible to fish. But now it's nearly all gone from the surface and much, maybe most, of the bottom appears clear. I like to fish survace lures, especially dry flies, so the problem of fishing with chara in the pond is probably not nearly as great as trying to fish when the surface has many islands of floating FA. And even now, when the pond appears largely free of FA, it actually contains a great deal of suspended FA. Every cast with a spinner or wobbler brings in some FA with it.
