Yep, I've spoken with the TPWD biologist for our area many times. Great guy and really cares about a healthy lake for fishing. That second group of carp were added because the FCWD requested they be added because the grass wasn't being killed off fast enough. This was before the state realized just how effective they were at not controlling but completely eradicating pretty much any and all vegetation. I'm just hoping since many of those carp have already died with more due to die soon, we may start seeing some grass again. This time, I think they plan to control it with spot chemical treatment vs more carp.



I hope you're right. I remember when that lake had the water clarity of Athens or better, but it is a recreational lake and the homeowners complained so much about the moss. Now people complain about the water clarity...

Great fish. Beats anything I've caught out of Cypress in the last year.

Homeowners out there wanted all the grass killed. Now they probably wonder why their previously beautiful and clear water stays so dirty looking a lot of the time.

We had a place on Cypress back in Panther Creek. We had it for about 12 years in the 90's and early 2000's. When we bought our place Cypress was ranked #1 lake in Texas for water cleanliness. The grass was like a big filter. The water clarity was great. You could see your feet easily when swimming. Back then if you wanted to control the grass around your dock you had to go to FCWD and get a permit for the chemical for it. Well this time period is when the rich folks were pouring into the lake buying up all the properties. They would buy a $300,000 home and level it and build their own. I'm sure they still do that but it was crazy back then. In a matter of 10 years it went from having grass lines on every bank, clear water, plentiful beautiful fish with pure white belly's and the deepest green color you ever saw, to no grass at all, poor water clarity, and ugly fish. It was once one of the best bass fisheries in the state. When the grass was all gone we sold our place, doubled our money, and called it good. I sure miss it. But it just isn't the lake it used to be. Big money and wake boats ruined that beautiful lake.

What Anchorman said. Was one of the best fisheries around till the grass carp were released.

Well, I'm one of those home owners now (since 2008) and definitely want some grass but understand why some would want it controlled at some level. My neighbor is a full time retired couple and they told me about how thick it was in area when the grass was at its peak. Said there was literally now way to get a boat in and out of the area and we are at the mouth of small creek and not way in the back. I've seen grass that thick on Monti and even in a bass boat designed to get in there, it's still very hard at times. All I want is some middle ground which I think the TPWD does as well. The FCWD? Who knows. They tend to bow down to the ski boat community because they outnumber us bass fishing homeowners out there at least 50-1. We won't know unless it starts to grow again which is bound to start happening again at some point.

I wish you were right but that is not what I see demonstrated on East Texas lakes. Tyler - total eradication. Martin Creek in the late 90s - total eradication. Purtis Creek - well, you get the picture. I have had this discussion with our local inland fisheries manager and his position is that hydrilla is an invasive species and noxious weed that should be eradicated. You may get lip service and promises to plant cute little patches of "native vegetation" in cages around the lake...but if you have the same guy we have in the Tyler area as far as he is concerned the only acceptable amount of hydrilla is zero.

He even brought in the same guys who "treated" Conroe years ago to do the same on Lake Tyler. I knew right then where we were headed and I was right.

In a way you are correct. They bow down to the folks who pay an inordinate amount in taxes to own property there. If you are a home owner there you know what I mean. There are more home owning tax payers in the "wake boat" category than in the bass fishing category. Back when I was a home owner there it was closer with a lot more bass fishermen still able to afford a place there. Nowadays a loaded out Wake Setter boat is upwards of $150,000. If that is any indication of the kind of crazy money these home owners there have now. I felt raped when I paid my taxes there. I paid $130k for my place. I couldn't imagine paying what the million dollar guys pay. But back to my point, they are the ones who control the FCWD policies because they pay the big tax money. And most of them could care less about the fishery. I'd just as well fish Sandlin any more. Cypress is a yuppie lake
