I think I read the same paper on BG growth. And the highest avg growth rate was 10" in 8 years. The same paper said that abundant young walleye seem to increase BG growth rates. One thing I am not worried about is BG over populating. I am worried about us and the walleyes cropping down the BG untill we don't grow any large ones.
The pond seems to be relatively fertile, the water is green in color, with 4'-5' water clarity on most days. Also we already seen good mayfly hatches. Weed beds are patchy and restricted to shallow water. I think I will try to build a secchi disk this weekend.
Thanks for the advice,
ty
