Get the rake out! Doesn’t need to be far out, and even if it takes hours! I’ve done this on tricky lakes and had fish from 2 rod lengths out. Very satisfying way to fish as well, if you have luck on your side.

Depends on conditions. Historically I've seen it start to go in August but with no drop in temps or big winds due any time soon I can see it taking longer. Even when it starts to die off you have another set of challenges (dying weed beds can still be a nightmare and weedbergs even more so). It'll be a while yet I reckon.

When will the weed start to die off as my lake is virtually unfishable?

one of my waters dyed a lake a few years back. wrecked the fishing. zero weed for about two full seasons. no reason for the fish to be out in the open water, so they just sat in the woodwork. castch rates were well down. finally now im told a bit of weed is returning. better option is barley straw to keep the risk of a bloom down and let the weed do its natural thing

Anyone have any experience with the dye that reduces weed etc? Costing £££ Is it dangerous can it be done by non professional people?

In my experience you want to keep the spots small. Once they're big they die a death bites wise.

Worked hard raking about 250kg of weed out,definitely ended up with fishable 25 yard spots,need to extend the area bit by bit then see if it gets visited eventually.

when I fished a very weedy syndicate what I did was find the spot I wanted to fish and the kept baiting it from the boat with soaked pigeon conditioner. then once they had cleared a 15ft area I baited a long strip back to the swim for my line. then dropped the rigs from the boat. seemed to work very well but it all depends on what type of weed etc.
