Is anybody else noticing the little amount of good weeds this year on our lakes. It seems in years past areas I could find slop and thick vegetation are lacking any. Is this because of the cooler summer or are they spraying chemicals more this year??

There is a new SONAR chemical they are using this year.  It pretty much kills everything throughout the lake, not just where they spray it like the old stuff did.  Sucks doesn't it??

Funny thing is Professional Lake Management is a good customer of mine!  I get on them every time they stop in the store to stop killing my weeds!!  Most of them are good natured and laugh along with me... most of them.

I was out on Orion last weekend and there wasn't any lack of weeds.  Lobdell was a little sparse, but I don't know what the norm is there. Hopefully there's enough pads for the frogs only thing next month.  You're coming to that, right??

Yes that does suck. What's the big deal about having at least some weeds. If people want to swim and do recreational sports on the water there is plenty of water without vegetation on our lakes!
