The return of the dreaded water turkeys, aka Cormorants, to my East Texas ponds is imminent....any day now. The destruction of forage fish and even game fish by these creatures every year works against every management technique I apply during the growing season.

I have tried just about everything except adding dye/coloring to the water to reduce/eliminate visibility. I have generally very clear water.

Has anyone had success in thwarting these birds by the use of water dye/coloring? If so, what has worked for you?
