Pond Frog,

A fish kill is of major concern. The pond has many beautuful LMB in the range of 5-10 lbs. Then there is a growing poulation of stunted LMB I believe is due to 85% of the water column being choked with milfoil and a total cover of watermeal with some duckweed. Half of the pond is 2.5 to 4' deep and the watermeal is stacked as much as an inch deep in those shallows. The other half of the pond is 6' -10' deep. It's a 60 year old pond that is full of muck & silt and surrounded by agriculture. Ice cover is about 150 days away. Are you saying that killing it all now won't drastically reduce reinfestation next season? Even if I implement a smaller scale preventative treatment program early in the Spring?
