BEWARE OF DUCKWEED!

The weather is getting warmer and invasive plants can become a big problem. Duckw**d is an incredibly invasive aquatic plant. It multiplies rapidly, blanketing water surfaces to block sunlight and deplete oxygen, which can harm fish and other aquatic life.

Contact Lochow today to schedule your treatment to prevent or remove duckw**d and other invasive vegetation from your pond!

Feeling a little… underwhelmed by the size of your bass? 🎣

It might not be your lake management.
It might not be your forage.

It could be genetics.

Florida-strain largemouth bass are known for their ability to grow bigger and faster than northern strains. If your goal is true trophy bass, stocking Florida Bass can make all the difference in the long-term potential of your lake.

❄️TURN OFF YOUR AERATION SYSTEMS! ❄️

Prepare for the upcoming cold snap, which can have a big impact on your pond or lake. During extended freezes, we recommend turning off aeration systems to help prevent super-cooling and reduce stress on fish.

🌡️Warm winter = early w**d growth 🌱

With fewer hard freezes this year in Texas, aquatic vegetation is already established and poised for aggressive growth later in the season. The best way to stay ahead of it? Start treating early.

As spring rains arrive and water levels rebound, now is also a great time to plan w**d control and restocking efforts.

Get ahead of the season and schedule treatments with us today—your pond will thank you.

Is your pond healthy below the surface? 🌊

Just because the water looks fine doesn’t mean everything is balanced. Our comprehensive pond water testing can reveal hidden issues like low oxygen, toxic ammonia, pH imbalances, and excess nutrients—key factors that impact fish health, algae growth, and overall water quality.

At Lochow Ranch, our biologists don’t just test your water—they help you understand why conditions are the way they are and how to fix them, from aeration to liming and fertilization.
