Didn't think to do that. It's close by though; I'll get one.

Looks like whoever owns that pond has work to do.

The invasives have destroyed some of the waters here in the northeast. Hydrilla, eurasian milfoil and water chestnut.

Had the same experience last week. Every time I reeled in my beetle spin it was covered in the green algae or whatever it is.

Might be duckweed?
It's actually edible and considered a "superfood". Just have to be sure it's from a clean water source. |

If it's algae, or one of a few other invasive species, it can be controlled chemically with a herbicide treatment once a year. I treat my ponds every spring for filamentous algae. That's what it looks like but I can't be certain without closeup pics.
I have three ponds that are used for fishing and for irrigation. This stuff gets progressively worse during the summer, when untreated, and clogs the strainers on my irrigation pump's suction pipes. It's a b**ch. |

As Stan thought, it’s filamentous algae. Also called hair algae.
