    What's happening to the grass?

    Looks like it's shaping up to be another 2011. At least up North of mattawoman the water is chocolate milk and nearly all stuff that had grass last year has nothing. Getting worried.

    In my normal haunts on Wednesday, I found a lot of grass. Not exactly in the same locations but I could find it.

    Seems like there's about one tenth of the grass there was last year. This rain won't help.

    Plenty of grass around. Pre-emergent patches in 5' and less. It starts up in different areas each year dependant on water quality and sunlight penetration. Some stuff has grown a foot in the past 2 weeks.

    There is grass in patches. Find a nice patch and work it for all it has. Seems a decent clump can hold multiple quality sized fish.

    Milfoil should be well into growing by this time of year on the Potomac. Cold hasn't stopped it in the past.

    We had grass started the last week of Feb. Some places are already just below the surface.

    A large abundance of rain and flooding on the upper Potomac and it’s tributaries also plays a big roll in the grass growth in the spring. But the grass is definitely there. Just have to look for it.
