Default Keeping water hyacinths out of skimmers

If you can anchor the fishing line below the water level, it is totally
invisible. That is how we did it. Above becomes totally invisible as well
once the leaves begin to reach over it.

Any suggestions other than -- duh, don't put in any water hyacinths! We

like
them and they're kind of neat floating around.


You can always take 2 pegs on either side of the pond and tie fishing line
across, about 2 inches above water level forming a barrier. Plus its

almost
invisible. Saw this on a website recently!
