Bow fishing is illegal on Trout stocked waters so Candlewood is off limits.
As far as the weeds go, these fish eat them from the top down so hopefully like Ball Pond there will still be plenty of weeds for the fish to do their thing and the weeds won't be too far up to the surface to fowl up props and tangle up swimmers etc. A least that's their plan.

You know they are going to do something for weed control so Carp are better than chemicals, they will take much longer though and are actually much cheaper.
