I typed up a big "plan" last night after i finally found these ponds. As i was finishing up my power went out before i could post it. But it basically included the pics shown, and how the weeds have been taking over and progressing for the last few years. So i recommended taking care of the weed and water quality issues first..

I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..
