A lot of Texas lakes are devoid of vegetation. Conroe, Raven, Fayette, and Coleto have all fallen victim to spraying, carp stocking or both. Do me a favor. Please list the lake that you fish that still has some great growth.

Fayette is not devoid of vegetation...not as much hydrilla as in the old days but plenty of grass still there along with cattails etc.

I know that T-Bend used to have plenty. The last time I was at Big Sam, I couldn't believe how much hydrilla was here.

If water hyacinths (large floating plant) counts: Texana, Houston, Raven and Sheldon are full of it. I think all lakes in the south of Texas have it.
