Quillback Posted August 16 Share Posted August 16 I have this in a print article in the Weekly Vista, can't cut and paste. so I will summarize: An AGFC project has put white rectangular floating plant pens in the Rocky Branch and Van Winkel arms. These containers have American pond weed and coontail. It is hoped that wave and wake action will shake loose seeds from the plants in the enclosures and start plant growth on the bottom. Six large enclosures for pond weed and eighteen enclosures for coontail are in place. It's something of an experiment, but is has worked on DeGray lake. I have noticed the hydrilla on the dam end is becoming more widespread every year. snagged in outlet 3, MarkG52, Dan the fisherman and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 That will be interesting to follow. A couple of months ago I found a cove at Stockton full of curly leaf pond weed. I went back to fish it Thursday and it was all gone. Where? Quillback 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find some flats where the water is 20 feet deep and drag something like a c-rig or football jig and there's a chance you'll dredge some up. You might be able to spot some on the bottom in places too if you look around. I have not seen anywhere where it grows to the surface. shark bait 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 It’s there. I have this uncanny ability to find it with my jigs every time I fish down there. shark bait, Quillback and Daryk Campbell Sr 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
