The fishing has been very good but more difficult with the build up of algae around the edges, on top and below. I understand some locals here use copper sulfate granules to combat this. I have also read that chaleeted copper is less concentrated but more effective.
I have been raking but this is endless.

I do have fish nesting now (pumpkin seeds). I believe the bass, bluegill, and crappie have already spawned.

What is the most cost effective way and less harmful to the fish population with the quickest dissolving time? The pond is 4.45 acres and I am leaning on treating sections.

What is the a line between a pond and a lake?
