There is no underwater vegetation. The water gets too deep too quickly even thought the water clarity is typically 3+ft most of the time.

I did have a watermeal problem three years ago but a summer of monthly direct spray treatment (surprisingly) cleared it out. Haven't seen it since.

I am working to up the pond productivity. Installed an aeration system late last summer and have a texas hunter feeder installed. Managing a population of BG and LMB for size. I know getting large sizes for both is likely not possible, but will see what the pond tells me as I feed, catch, and selectively cull both LMB and the BG.
