Pond Frog,
Great advise and information. What is the best way to mechanically remove it? Since 50% of the coontail is in 5' or less water, I think I could get some day labor guys to help. But what tools are best?
Are you thinking if we could get the 25 acre lake down to 20% or less infestation than the 260 grass carp might control the rest?
Yes. I know they eat it up. But with that stocking rate they should get on top of it pretty quick. I think you will be at least double of recommended guidelines. Overkill with carp is a faster end result. Inadequate stocking is a waste of time. I'm waiting for 5 months for ponds lowest level, and then I hit it hard manually. Then next Spring when it re-emerges. But I have over 60%.
