Does not smell like a skunk... If anything smells fishy... All over the shallow side and the rims of the pond

Looks like coontail, but don't take my word as gospel, Bill Cody would have the answer.

Picture is a little out of focus and I agree with Snipe - probably coontail

Spent quite a while this afternoon perusing the website and other places on the internet.... I just don't have the money it takes to buy a lot of the chemicals it says takes care of the coontail... Is there a reasonably priced way to defeat this or just kind of live with it

Other than a little money spent on chemicals for where we swim, I've been just living with it.
