    There is a lot of grass on the main lake, some visible some not. It will probably take a few years for the fish population to rebound though. The little fish need all the cover they can get to hide from the stripers and yellow bass the DNR keeps dumping in there.

    I would like to see pictures or video or some other evidence of the DNR spraying the grass at Patoka. Its hard for me to believe the DNR would go to any effort or expense to do anything like that.

    DNR does spray grass. They spray at Dogwood off and on about every year including lilly pad growth.
