Thanks Bill, I didn’t know FA would do that. Should I remove ribbons, if there’s more than a few this year? The FA is well below the surface. The weeds look clean where I can see them, but bringing in lures last weekend that had hit bottom, were almost always covered in FA. Will see soon enough if there’s any ribbons here.

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
