Well the winter has been interesting to say the least. Had a few days -30F+. Ice was 18 inches plus. My AirMax aeration opened a hole though when we had 15 inches of snow on top of that! The ice went out a couple weeks back and approximately half the pond is covered in FA mats. What a mess! I sprayed some areas with Cutrine Plus yesterday and today but I suspect the water temp is too cold to really have much impact. I ordered a pool noodle to strap on my weed rake to give it some buoyancy so I can toss it out and try to get most of this crap off. I also ordered some copper sulfate crystals for follow-up treatment. Anybody else seeing a lot more FA this spring than usual?

The good news is fish hitting the surface everywhere and no signs of any winter killed! smile
