Thanks you all
Thank you all for the wide range of suggestions and input.
I don't yet know what I will do, but I do know that I won't be adding 50 LB's of herbicide to the lake.
Sounds like just pulling them will only cause them to regrow or be replaced by potentially something worse.
I don't think a draw down will get the water low enough to deal with it that way.
Seems like my best bet (and legal) is to either do nothing and ignore the little buggers, or just to be a bit more active in their area and encourage them to leave.
As I think I said in my post. I don't have a lot of them and really only wanted to get ahead and make sure they don't take over. So now that I know what they are, know that they are native and slow growing. I won't do anything aggressive, nor illegal or ill-advised.
I appreciate that others must have much worse problems with weeds and State/Permitting issues. I know this probably gets very frustrating from both sides of the issue. I was just trying to get myself a bit educated and not just jump in and do something.
Thank you all
