Submergent Vegetation at Blue Grass F&W Pits ?

[Moveon]

If I had to guess the weed die off was caused by the high water we had this spring. I have also found that the fishing for me has diminished this year compared to last year there.

Yes the high muddy water blocked the sunlight for a long time this spring and that could have killed some of the submergent vegetation.

Glad that you responded and confirmed that the weeds were gone. A lot of the shorelines were under water for a long time this spring.

We had some flooding a couple of weeks ago but it was not as high as this spring. I'm wondering if the IDNR spayed some herbicide into these waters to reduce the weeds. I read that they do that from time to time in Bluegrass. I read this in the research notes page on the IDNR Fish and Wildlife web site.

The guys that told me that the weeds were gone fish Bluegrass a lot. I see them over there all the time.
