I agree flooding plays a part,and that while most has been going north it is slowly getting more southerly and more wet,we arnt out the bag yet.
As for spraying they did spray the paris landing state park area,cove from swimming pool to main lake swimming area.Result was less american lotus in deeper water but not gone and some lilly pads replacing the lotus in shallower water,still thick in the back end.Beavers close this off so early in the season not accessable via boat.
At around same time they planted stakebeds,you are most likly correct about the main lake veggies,for some reason my neighbors pond which is chock full of lotus hasnt come up and its normally topped in late march,cold front?
Same thing down back end of birdsong not up normally is that is several hundred acres of lotus.Last years floods thinned it but didnt kill it.
And yes sucking the bottom out,does effect the bite.Kina figgure not only flood but major current hurts veggies,right now more than niagra falls is going thru hourly.
