pond picker

[micaaronfl76]

hey guys i was wondering what you guys would recommend to cut off dead lillies in a pond? i hate getting in with my waders to remove dead plants and also the way my pond is positioned its hard to get to the plants out of the water on the other side. i didnt see anything at home depot.

I wade in with a pair of sissors, use my toes to pull the plants close ie shallower just reach down and either cut or pick them off. Nice job when it is miserable hot. Fun to check out the fish that swarm my legs I can reach down and pick them up, have done taht on a few

When it is cold I put on waders, when it real cold and fall grooming time, I pull them out via my grabber and clean groom them

they make pond shears ... with about 4' extention pole for pruning lillies.

I have those, but it is really hard to see the bad leaf to groom when the surface is covered with leaves and flowers. To me easier to get in the pond and groom

wonder how many fish you would get in your waders :razz:
