I'm going to be raising walleyes in Northern WI and I'm using natural ponds on the property. We plan on using a large seine to harvest fish next fall. The biggest potential problem we are facing is that there are a ton of weeds in our pond. The water color is very clear, most likely contributing to the amount of weed growth. I would like to use dye next spring to eliminated some growth but I think that would inhibit plankton bloom for my future fry. Im also considering a weed shear to manually remove as much veg as possible. The other problem is that our pond is 3 acres and I'm afraid manual removal will take a month of Sundays. The vegetation is about 95% submergent and the other 5% or less is lily pads. I will have to go grab samples from my lake and ID the type of weeds I'm dealing with and add that to this subject. In the meantime any advice or experiences could be of great help.
