Pond weed identification #337756

Asked June 29, 2016, 1:51 PM EDT

Could someone please help me identify this weed?  It grows on long strands in clusters in the center of the pond (1/2 acre, 13 years old), and eventually reaches the surface.

Thanks!

I can't say for sure, but it may be Starry Stonewort (Nitellopsis sp.).  Look for white little stars (bulbils) on it.  That would tell you for sure.
