I have been lurking on pond boss for about 2 years. I have read probably 90% of every post on here.
My family has a farm pond that is about � acre in size max depth of 20ft. It�s 35 years old fed by water runoff and a field tile. It has CC, BG, Bass GC FHM Most of the bass are small and under sized. We also have a koender�s windmill with only one stone diffuser it was added after a winter fish kill about 10 years ago. It has a lot of FA and a ton of Chara from 6 foot of water up to the banks. The pond has about 1 foot of muck on the bottom witch is mostly made up of un decayed matter. Mostly leaves and dead Chara. The water is very clear you can see down about 3 feet. Vary small plankton bloom if any bloom at all.
I have been trying to talk my family into what they should do to get the pond back on track. Last August someone decided to treat the whole pond in a months� time with cutrine plus to knock back the chara and FA. Last October we had a fish kill not sure how bad of a fish kill it was. The only fish kill that we have ever had was a winter fish kill witch is when we put in the windmill 10 years ago. I�m wondering what would have caused this fish kill in the fall.
