It seems like it happened overnight, but more likely over a week or two... it appears that the majority of the coontail in our pond died out. It has always pretty much covered any area's that was less than 8ft deep. Now the shallows are pretty much is clear of it.

Possibilities;

We'd had several years of low water. This year it has been full with regular rains.

We've had more muddy water than normal. But not all the time, just based on heavy rain events.

Aerial sprayers spray the neighboring land. They spray for broadleaf weeds. I know they spray up creek directly on the water. Otherwise it's pastureland.


What says you guys? Anyone have experience with something like this? Should I be worried?
