Pond Boss Forums INTRO New Forum Member Introduction New and Nervous Pond Owner

With pond being 40 years old i predict it is now very close to 11-13 ft deep maybe only 10ft. Ponds without bottom aeration will accumulate at least 1" of sediment each year which means your pond has around 40" of unconsolidated muck, probably mostly tree leaves and spruce needles in the bottom belly. ASAP get a bottom depth measurement to help with future management activity. It looks to have a fairly high concentration of blue pond dye which helps keep the weeds and algae reduced. Maybe a couple grass carp are helping keep the weeds reduced.
