I have a small pond, maybe 1.5 acres. I didn't personally stock it but have spent time and energy harvesting small bass, releasing big bass and feeding it, etc...

The plants were a few feet out from the bank a couple years ago and actually made a good mixture of cover for the fish and a good grass line to flip a jig and it made for good fishing.

Now, its taken over!! How do I get rid of this stuff without killing my fish? I'm not financially able to get a pond doctor that uses the machines to scoop it up and haul it off...

Thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions!
