You may be surprised to know it could disappear or die back when water temps warm. Some FA prefers cooler water.

Are you sure it's a problem? I have some in my ponds but don't worry about it unless it's a fry pond and I want to get an algae bloom going. Then the FA competes with the algae bloom.



Thanks Cecil. I didn't know it might die back on its own but I should have from my years of fishing. I can remember ponds having moss in the spring but none later on in the summer. This must be a good year for it around here. I've noticed several ponds I drive by nearly covered with the mats.
