Hi Bill, I quit feeding for the season back in the 2nd week of May. I was told by the supplier of my Browns and Tigers it may be best for them to just quit eating pellets at this time as the other years I fed most of the summer and they consumed more oxygen at that time and put more stress on them. They are quite hungry now and I pretty well quite any fishing in the pond other than a quick toss of a line/grub to check up on them with a barbless hook.

About the pollen...About a month ago, the pond was actually completly covered with it and the small maple shoots from the tree's around the pond..it was noticable for almost a week and then I assume it all sank. I am going to try out Bills recomendation for the BGA and see what happens.
