I have no rooted plants now, that's why the FA is blooming, and way earlier than normal. I don't know if a whitecap treatment now or later makes more sense. I'm not convinced I need to treat the FA now, but I may become so. I'm not familiar with the process of using Cutrine - is it as easy as adding to the water and circulating like it is with Whitecap? What I'm not willing to do is apply cutrine to the entire pond bottom it's a fairly large BOW in which to do it. I would love for there to be a nice plankton and subsequent zooplankton bloom, but just not sure how to get there. So far I've done none of these things and had success - but I'm always open to improving my results.

Spawning beds are elevated so when the drawdown for seining occurs they will be high and dry and out of the way of the seine net.
