Treat the FA early as soon as you can see it greening up on the bottom spread some Cutrine granules. FA always starts growing on the bottom than later it breaks loose and floats, but by then it is quite difficult to control. Headed to town today to try to find some treatment. I think I remember seeing it before, hope they still have it. It's gotten cold again and the FA bloom we had a few weeks ago has dissappeared, I think this might be a good time to start looking for it on the bottom and treating it. 19 acre watershed pond LMB, BC/WC, Bluegill, Crawfish, GShiners

Have some 40ft trusses found and currently looking for barrels. You might want to check with Esshup before building a dock out of barrels. He made a nice one, but as I recall after all was said and done if he did it again he would just buy the commercial dock floats. Have to ask him the particulars. I did some searching for his thread but didn't find it. Have a link? 19 acre watershed pond LMB, BC/WC, Bluegill, Crawfish, GShiners

I'm moving in a different direction right now but this idea certainly hasn't left my head. I could get someone who could scoop it out I have a skidsteer that can I can relocate it with. I can't see it being a bad thing to make a deeper spot, just don't want it to fill in quickly afterwards. 19 acre watershed pond LMB, BC/WC, Bluegill, Crawfish, GShiners
