My .20 acre pond has quite a bit of grass, and some mid level and some topwater moss. It is difficult to make a cast and retrieve without having to pick moss off. So, tonight I got in the water with a garden rake and worked a while getting out what I could. I made good progress, but still a ways to go. When raking the bottom, pretty much the whole bottom is covered with grass....This is what it looked like and what I'd remove from the rake with each swipe of the bottom.
and I assume the "moss" I'm referring to is the dead decaying grass rising to the top.
I think some if good, as it'd certainly provide some cover and shade for fish, but wondering if/what i need to do about the complete grass cover on the bottom?
Any thoughts or specifics regarding getting it under control would be appreciated. For what it's worth, I do have 3 grass carp in it, but I'd think it'd take an army to put a dent in it.
