Well, yesterday afternoon I mixed about 150lb of alum into the propwash. I was surprised how quickly it started to work. I also added about 50lb of hydrated lime. About an hour into this operation I had some big trout circling around the top of the pond 2-4 a couple of them well over 10lbs. They looked pretty rough so I wasnt concerned to much about loosing them I imagine the ph change stired em up a little, but as of this morning no dead fish or circling trout. The PH test kit I have was giving me to many different reading so I'm getting another one today. I put the trout in the pond so when friends come over they can feel like real anglers and its keep em away from the bass lol. These trout are so dumb you could fish em with a pitch fork. I'm lookin forward to improved bass fishin with the clearer water. I really want to thank everyone for the help. I got a subcription to the mag. The pond boss and forum rocks !!!
