Weed Identification

[Trux]

I frequently see people referring to specific types of weeds. I understand the obvious ones (lily pads, reeds, cat-tails) that are visible above the water, but what about the submerged ones? Do you guys have any good resources for learning to identify the species of weeds we commonly encounter while bass fishing?

An interesting topic for me. I get asked once in a while and hear different names all over the country.

I have an exotic weed link on my home page under Resource links. It has links by common name and you can see pictures when you try the links.

There's a lot on the Internet if you search. I have a good aquatic plant book upstairs... somewhere... Not sure if I can get my hands on it quick - I got it from MUCC though so they may still have it in their catalog.

That's a great question Trux. I too have the same intellect of them as you. I know its something I really need to spend more time figuring out. I'll be anxious to see what others say.
