Dutch Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I saw this plant at Stockton yesterday. I’ve never seen any aquatic plants there before. One cove was jammed with it reaching the surface in 10’ of water. BilletHead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As big and deep as our big lakes are it may not be. If it does it's going to take many, many years.

Dutch Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 It is covering about 1/2 of the little timbered cove on the right as you go into Orleans Trail Marina cove. I also saw some in Crabtree Cove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquatic invasive are pretty good at evolving to meet conditions else they wouldnt be invasive. Small patches are not a bad thing but invasive never seem to stay small.
