Heard that homeowners on Lake Athens got a note this week saying that workers would be spraying grass.
Noticed the last time I was there that the grass had been pushed back but figured it was just due to "winter"....but now I'm wondering if they had sprayed some already

It is up to the home owners to kill the grass and only in front of their houses (I don't think it can go past their dock much) I hope it doesn't get out of hand & ruin the lake.

Many million dollar homes.
Grass bad on jet skis.
"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

It seems like most of the rich people who build huge homes on lakes really don't like living on lakes. They like living on big, dammed up swimming pools. All those yucky plants and varmints that get into the pool need to be cleaned out.

We need to find a fisherman in Austin(rep or senator)and let them know what is going on. Money talks though. And those homeowners who have the mansions have the money.

this is not going to be a popular opinion but if you had a million dollar lake house I bet you would like a way to get to the water without overheating your motor .

When they "treated" Lake Tyler they killed all the grass in the middle of the lake, around Stake Island. I wasn't aware there were any boat docks or children swimming around it.
