Fertilized Pond

How long after a pond is fertilized is fishing effected?

It's not. That's an old wives' tale. If anything, it helps fishing, especially if the pond didn't have a bloom beforehand. Decreased visibility means the fish are less spooky and will bite better.

Thanks. I '' go today!

TASTE LIKE 13-13-13, YOU MAY WANT TO WAIT A FEW DAYS .:popcorn

I've caught fish from a fertilized pond many times and never detected a change in taste. Considering how minutely the fertilizer gets dissipated throughout the water column, I doubt one could detect it if one tried.

you are probably right . the state lakes in our area are so green you can't see through it . may not change the taste but don't catch much either . fished 3-4 hrs. last yr. at trace lake without a keeper on a "black gnat. "Have seen other post about it doesn't effect the fishing . Maybe I don't know what I am doing .

Has this lake produced for you prior to the fertilization? Or does it just not have a good population of fish? Just asking...

Been green every time I went . Have been told that those who fish on bottom ,do well .I only go during the full moon in April, may, June to bream fish it .Very green /murky green .

If the fish dint belly up you will be just fine eating them!:biggrin
