Aquatic Vegetation Management

One of the most common complaints from new clients is the amount of aquatic weeds and algae in their pond or lake. Reclaim your lake today! Start using your lake as you intended. Start fishing without frustration. Start swimming again without the kids complaining. Make your lake the focal point it was designed to be. In most cases, the target for lake vegetation coverage is around 20% or less of the total lake acreage. Problems can exist when there is too much or too little aquatic vegetation in your lake. Sometimes zero vegetation is desirable, for instance in lakes managed for trophy bass (lunker bass). In most cases, an over abundance of aquatic vegetation or algae is the problem. Too much aquatic vegetation or algae in your pond or lake can lead to fish kills due to oxygen depletion, decreased predator fish size, poor forage availability, unsatisfactory fishing and other problems.
