Is it an algae bloom? Duckweed? Something else? And is it safe to fish? Will it go away after the warm summer months? Sorry for rapidfire questions. This pond is near my house and I would love to learn to fish in it. Thanks! Posted by Pr0fessorFrink

tropickle on August 11, 2025 12:00 pm Oxygen levels in such water bodies are low, hence there will be fewer fishes
CheeryJP on August 11, 2025 12:02 pm That kind of coating doesn’t necessarily reflect healthy water. It wouldn’t be pleasant to fish, it will most likely stink.
