Pond dried up last year and I removed most of the muck out of my one acre pond it is about fifty years old. It filled all the way up during the winter. The water is extremely clear and weed growth is pretty prolific all around the pond from shore to deep water. I stocked BG and Res and see the first signs of spawning. So I got in the pond to remove some areas to clear some areas for them to spawn. Didn't feel anything biting me but after I got done I noticed some itchy areas. They progressed to what looked like a very angry mosquito bites could it be a reaction to the weeds I pulled out. I had a similar reaction in a neighbor's pond when I was doing the same thing.
