Also you could spray it easily with 10 oz of glyphosate and surfactant and about ten gallons of water. Using by the fly math.

I can tell you exactly what you need to spray depending on your type of vegetation. If you have Frogbit you need a different surfactant.

Contact me. I’ll give you the stuff.

My son or myself go almost very week to BR. But I need to know what you have growing. There is a photo guide to invasive species on the LDWF website if you need help identifying what you have.

I’m going boat riding tonight so I might not answer till tomorrow.

I’d like to help you. Free.
Don’t cut the levee. If it thecut goes to the bayou you are altering wetlands.

Plus a unnecessary expense and potential problems down the road. Spray it.

Thanks for all the responses. While I am open to exploring options, we have been looking at cutting it as a method of last resort. We have kicked around many of these ideas and it just seems like it’s too locked up to be restored from its current condition with carp, spraying, etc.

As someone pointed out, we have tried to siphon it without success. I failed to mention that there is actually a drain pipe with a valve right at the location where we’d like to cut it, but the pipe is completely silted in. The cut would serve the dual purpose of replacing a new drainage pipe.

I’d like to think spraying would be an option, but it’s a big task. It’s a variety of floating and submerged grasses like roots growing up from the bottom. I am not 100% sure what it is, it may be alligator grass along with other things. Not sure how hardcore spraying would impact harvesting fish from the waters later on.

I’ll shoot you an email.
