Absolutely, we pulled a small patch out in penson yesterday.

where do they have the boom? is it way back in the cove where it forks (west and south), or is it out where the cove enters the main lake?

I swore I saw some in Rodgers last weekend during Champs. Wasn't sure if we were supposed to call someone about it or not.

Glyphosate is carcinogenic...
Not good all the way around.

That stuff must be bad news.

My trailer is in Chaney, it is still closed to trailer launching ( ramps closed) for several months now. didn't see any sign of it last weekend.It is imperative that you report any sightings to SRA so they can treat it. Don't listen to the bs going around how they're killing the fish; we've caught several over 8's already this year.
We watched the stuff completely choke off the back of the creek in just a few days.

yes call sra

SO, NOW we have a WEAKNESS of zebra mussels...need to figurei out how to make it work FOR minimization/elimination of the mussels...and then knock out all these useless zebra mussel regulations....

LOL any chemical that will kill this stuff is carcinogenic....that is why you MUST have a license to handle it!!!! I have such a license, ...my comment is...stand back folks, let the experts do what needs to be done...don't B!tch, don't whine, don't complain, let's just do what needs to be done to get rid of this stuff, and be glad it's gone...

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Roundup, which anyone can buy at Home Depot or Lowe's. Not good for the people who use Fork as a source for their tap water.

Well, you are partially right. I laugh every time I pass the "concentrated" version of Glycophospate at HD or Lowes, because what they label as "concentrated" is the maximum concentration allowed without a license. ...Fortuantely, the general public(such as you) can ONLY buy the diluted version(regardless of how it is labeled)...by the way, simple skin absorption from the lowes/HD version is WAY more dangerous than drinking water(untreated) from fork after they spray...and seriously bladder cancer is the only real issue...hardly a killer...more folks have bladder cancers for a host of other issues(diet related) such as diet drinks, colas...just saying...

The TPW(whomever) will be using the concentrated version WHICH YOU CANNOT PURCHASE without a license....and yes, we call it (generic roundup)...once you dilute it with a lake full of water, then treat the water at a treatment plant, minimal risk to humans...I mean hey, they allow folks like you to purchase and use a much higher dosage without proper handling techniques training....so there is not much risk with it in a lake full of water.

T54....good job chasing up some relevant research, that is being conducted...to bad those weevils can't control it by themselves (that would be great), but at least the Glycophospate will not kill them...that is fantastic news...a double whammy, if you will...thanks again!

Too bad the bream and crawfish love the weevils! Least that's what I was told by folks researching it years ago. It's bad news for sure. Sad to see what it's done to Bistineau, Caddo, and Black Bayou in Hosston. I used to love that little lake. Haven't been to any of the above in years.
