This is right around the corner from crip's when you come out of the cut into the river...

Damn

4 weeks ago there wasn't hardly any of that shit in there.

Damn. That must make u nauseous.

Y'all need some good ol Gulf salt water to fix that

And lots of it..

Man clay that is bad......

Need a flood, but that just sends it back down to yall..

couple more years and patman will be the same way. its spreading there too.

Holy shit man that sucks.

That's just the beginning..

Sad bc it's a beautiful lake

I guess it was just wishful thinking...They've kinda sorta had it under control for the last couple years, but it's got a stronghold now. This is just depressing, I don't know any other way to put it. Way worse than I ever imagined it would be.

That shit made its way out to onion island this year when we were there.

I find it very hard to believe that nothing can be done to get rid of this. I'm sure the state of Texas has the resources. I heard the spill at the run and all, but I would think if enough people complained they would have to do something.

I'm sure there is something I kill it but what else will it kill....

Damn, just damn.

Yes they have a weevil that have done some good but they die during the winter then they have to start over

could be worse Clay, i'd rather fight that stuff than the other way around and be looking for water to hunt it.....I'm thinking positive buddy

Huh?

Some wives don't like it either. They say it stanks and dirties clothes a lot.

Some prolly wont be able to see this post cause they filter my posts so feel free to quote me.

wow. that stuff is spreading quick. i was out there a little over a month ago and it was nothing like that. thats horrible.

Sorry to see that. Ruined the swamp I group up hunting in as well

What is it? We don't have whatever it is up here.

Giant salvania.

can you spray it with 2-4-d or something

The spray is a double edged sword because it silts in the lake. The spray they have works well but its expensive and time consuming. They just don't have the resources for it.

What works the best is scooping it up and taking it to shore, but there is hardly any accessible shoreline in the swamp...too many cypress trees.

The weevils are what naturally controls it in south america or wherever this shit came from, but they can't breed them fast enough and they don't survive as long in our climates. They're trying to expand the breeding facilities and greenhouses for the weevils, but it takes time and money. Neither of which they have.

There is lots of money being thrown at it, texas a&m has been doing studies and testing, and there is plenty of other groups doing what they can to help. People are making noise about it...
They said the water hyacinth was going to kill the lake when I was growing up, but they got it under control...I hope they get it figured out, but it ain't looking good right now. It just grows so fucking fast!

Get one of these

Damn, you should hear the ruckus up here about invasives like milfoil and zebra mussels. I'm glad folks know it's a big deal to jump on early, but we don't have anything near as bad as that.

That's why the Caddo raised funds were donated to the Weevil program.
