I am planning to treat my .7 acre pond with Cutrine plus granules tomorrow. I have FA growing mostly around the shallow perimeter of the pond. I live in central VA and wanted to wait until after the spawn. It appears all the blue gill beds are empty from the May full moon cycle. I can see a few RES on the beds now.
Should I be concerned about the blue gill fry and minnows? I am not concerned about the bass fry. I stocked the BG, RES, and minnow in April 2013 and the 20 largemouth fingerlings in April 2014. My bass spawned in 2015 so there is a pack of 8 to 10 inchers running around.
I would prefer to not wait any longer as the FA has been around since the warm spell this past winter
