TP&W came to spray the stuff, and put a float across the back of the creek.
I hope it all dies and doesn't cover the creek.

I've seen stuff that looks like Hyacinth floating out in the middle of the lake, around Lake Fork Marina area. Is this the Salvinia they're talking about?

That is water hyacinth you see floating and being blown out of the back of coves with a north wind.

I believe I've seen small areas of it on all the lakes I've fished in the last month.. Glades on Fork, Kickapoo on Palestine, and the far west end of Murvaul.

It is all over the lake. Go in birch Creek. Or running or coffee Creek. It needs to be killed. I just hope it can be killed without harming the hydrilla and milfoil.

A good cold winter will put a hurt on it. Spraying will kill everything

I wonder how well this would work.
It has to be better than chemicals.
