Lots Of Moss

[Kyle]

I didn't know exactly where to put this topic.\

There is a pond that I fish for bass and bluegill with the flyrod that is about 2 acres. It has been getting more and more moss every year and now is about 1/4 covered with it. It makes it challenging to land fish and not nearly as fun, since when the get into the moss the fight is pretty much over because you just drag them in. I was looking for some remedys. I was thinking about just puting on my waders and rounding a bunch of it up and pulling it out, but is only a temprary fix. Was wondering if a carp of 2 might do it and not hurt the pond life? Any suggestions would be greatly welcome.

Doesn't sound like it's your pond... either way, MDC has brochures out on how to fix that problem. Give 'em a call or go online for remedies. Good luck to ya!

Grass carp can help a little bit, but honestly, get ahold of the MDC.
