OK, this winter I purchased a 48 acre piece of property in Northeaster PA. with a three pond system on it.The ponds are 30 years old and the large one is appr. 4 acres. So far the ponds have been better than I could have dreamed. The previous owner claimed he raised LMB in the ponds, it turns out he wasn't kidding! In the first three fishing trips we pulled out between 20 and 30 LMB ( most 10” to 14” 1lb to 1 1/2 lb all catch and release) Now with the dog days of summer upon us (been rather hot and dry) the ponds are starting to show algae and the water level is down about 18 inches. Is this normal for this time of the year? Also someone told me that there is a type of Carp that feeds on cattails, does anybody have any info on this? Thanks for any repies in advance. Going to try to link a pic
