Ah, the prickly rope time of year has come again. I have to say since improving this idea last year I'm using it about once every two weeks now and my pond has never been cleaner and nicer looking. I use it mostly for removing duck weed but it cleans out everything else that floats too. I get some of the black floating goo once in a while. Comes right out with the duck weed. The prickly rope is my best ever pond cleanup tool for mid summer floating stuff blues. I've got a system down in my pond where it only takes me 1 to 2 hours to do a complete cleanup.

Gotta get back to fishin!
