It's a small pond and especially this year with the drought, there's been
very little flow. Right now the pond is about 2 inches from flowing into
the overflow pipe. Last years drought was worse and I don't remember it
being all that bad, but then again remembering ain't my strong point...

I've never seem mats of it, only clumps attached to weeds and other items
in the water even when catching a fish, only small clumps. I'll guess
the "strands" are about 4-6 inches long.

This site has a pic that's close to what I see, I don't have it this bad
though...

It seems that a lot depends on if there's current flow or not as to how
much it clumps up. I've found in as you describe, but then it seems to be
less concentrated if it's on the main lake or in a river where there's
water movement.

There's one drainage lake I fish that had "clouds" of the stuff ten to
fifteen feet across and probably three feet thick!
