Weed removal from lake

Fred Rat · 08-23-2008, 09:59 AM

I recently purchased waterfront property, and there are some weeds growing in the lake. I'm not sure what they are, they seem to be a fair amount of green leafy at the bottom and a single shoot/stalk that goes up to the surface.

I don't have too many of these, but I figure that if I don't want more, now is the time to remove them.

What is the proper way to remove them, is there anything I need to be careful about or that might make matters worse?
Are there any lake or Shore Line Protection related issues that I need to worry about.

The previous own left some sort of aquacide in the garage, I think it's some kind of weed killer you put in the lake.
Not even sure what's in it, but I have a feeling that it would be a very bad idea to use.

What's the right/legal/proper way to deal with these weeds.
