I've heard about the sterile grass carp from a co-worker, but he said they
didn't do a thing for his pond. I'd love to put a dock in (this would solve
multiple problems), however the town won't let us. Guess they are afraid
someone will fall off and drown themselves and sue. Thanks for the reply
tho'.

Look into sterile grass carp, they will take care of your weed problem.
The
next options might be a 15 foot dock? ~ jan

Hi all,
We run Radio Control Sailboats on a pond that is probably about a couple
acres in size here in NY. This year we had a very bad weed problem.
They
start about 5 feet out from shore and don't stop until about 15 feet out
from shore. The problem is that sailboats have a lead keel that sticks
down
below the boat for about 6-11 inches (depending on the boat) and they get
stuck in these very thick weeds. The pond is also supposedly stocked
with
fish. I have personally only seen very small bluegills in there, however
I
have been told that someone caught a 2 foot bass out of the pond although
I'm not sure that I believe it.
My question is, can I use granular Cutrine in just our section of the
pond
to kill off the weeds in just our area without harming the fish?
