I've been gone a while, so HEY everyone... With my Aquaview Scout camera, I am seeing masses of these round, dark green globuals about an inch+ or so big. They are at varying depths, but mostly mid-depth (10') to shallow. There are "beds" of them, mostly in one area, but also scattered here and there individually. Frog eggs or weeds maybe? Thanks!

My Therapist (and everyone I know) told me that I was probably BORN a Pond Boss... Now, since you were SO helpful in your reply, if you will give me your personal address I can ship several boxes of these precious little balls of slime to you for closer inspection! (-:

Sounds like jelly blobs (bryozoans) to me too.

Here is one kind:

It is an indication of very good water quality (if it's bryozoans).

Remember that Lusk is a bryozoan.

Bryozoans eh? That's a new one for me, and yes, the water is VERY well balanced rain run-off. Now that I think about it, when the pond draw-down happened last year, I did notice an almost black-green, gelitous mat of these balls just above the water line. They are really slippery too.
