for the folks that think the sprayers killed all the grass in hubbard creek do you realize how many tank trucks of chemical it would take to kill all the grass in a lake that size. some of you guys remind me of the sea shepard boat in the ocean harrasing the commercial fishing boats. So It all just disappeared? Just a coincidence it happened after they sprayed.

It was a harsh winter. Then lake levels went up fast….then it got hot fast.
It’s a bad year for grass on most lakes.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

It was gone last year too. And the lake level hasn’t gone up there.

I was told by a biologist from tpwd, "we did not spray nor treat for any grass in Hubbard creek, no home owners complained about Grass".

I was told by a biologist from tpwd, "we did not spray nor treat for any grass in Hubbard creek, no home owners complained about Grass". I can tell you that’s BS. I watched them spray. And he should have said not many homeowners complained. Because it was very few. They spray on 2 different days in the same week. TPWD also says they never stocked grass carp in Conroe. I do not think the fisheries biologist know what the invasive plant people who work for TPWD do. Our Abilene biologist had a no idea there was a woman from TPWD dept. out “mapping” all of the grass in July before they sprayed the same year. We asked him and he said he didnt know of anyone doing it. Her boat broke down and she had Sandy Creek repair it.
Retirement best job ever.
