A few spots in NWLA are getting killed with it.

Lake Bistineau will be a memory in < 5 years.

Clear Lake/Smithport Lake along with Wallace Lake (potholes compared to others) are done.

Other bodies have the salvinia but they are large enough that it just sits in the trees.

They have been spraying bistineau and working on a weevil plan, drawdowns, all that good shite. Its gone IMO.

We've been fighting it for years, saltwater and dry land are about the only things that work down here. We wait later to spray hyacinths to slow spread, but then we don't get the SAV growth. Wish the apple snails would acquire a taste for it.

It's truly sad. There are places I won't be able to take my kids that are taken over with hycenth that I cut my teeth on (unless something changes). Thinking about the possibility of losing more sucks.
