Clear any pond vegetation Get your shoreline back 

I don't have a pond that I fish, but that is some great information for anyone needing to clear up some areas. Keep rocking it buddy! Tight lines!

Informative

Be careful dude. Unless it’s private owned(some states still don’t care), most if not all states require State Certified professionals or applicator license to apply herbicides, algaecides, etc. Big fine in most states if caught without license.

I concur with flippinkickz, it's one thing to use a gas operated weed trimmer, or hand-held trimmers, but when you start spraying herbicides near water, even if you have done your homework, and you do, it can cause issues not thought of in the original plan. Also, and this is my situation, I fish other peoples ponds. A simple attempt at removing two annoying tree limbs, hand saw size, not chainsaw size, got me a resounding "don't do that" reply to my text to the owner. Something I thought wouldn't even be noticed, was an issue. Always ask first. Nothing you weren't aware of already, but maybe a helpful hint to a supporter who's getting tired of wading through high grass and blackberry bushes to get to a fishing spot
