Tecohorn,
Looks like you've been a busy fellow and are doing some great work!
You will see the same kind of mussels around my ponds when you visit. I'll show you my own approach to weed control...which differs from the standard approach of bulk stocking 10 to 15 grass carp per acre. I like to stock grass carp at one to two per acre on a preventive basis...not to totally eliminate all weeds but to control them. Some weeds are good (much better than a pond devoid of any), but finding the right balance is an on-going effort for me. It is much easier to add GC and measure the results than put in the recommended 15 per acre at one shot and see your pond devoid of vegetation and full of GC looking for something to eat....that's my opinion.
Looking forward to meeting you, showing you my ponds, and providing you a few CNBG for your genetics...just send me an e-mail when you are ready.
