How is the grass this year? I heard it was pretty much nonexistent last year.

[vausoner]

I'm hoping it's good. We'll be down the third week of Oct. Hopefully it's below 60 bridge. We only found it up from there last year.

Grass is doing great!! Several mats already topped out with plenty growing on the flats and shallower bays and this is around the Harrison Bay Area

[vausoner]

That is good news. Thanks.

I was there in June and found lots of grass below the nuclear plant. I’ll be down mid November for a week.

I seen the grass spraying schedule on the CFF website, had dates and areas sprayed. Damn...it’ll be ruined.
My brother works on the lake full time building Boat docks and says he’s seen a lot of spraying going on.

[vausoner]

Well that sucks.

Yippee...

[ZX20Harris]

Most of the spraying is around the public boat ramp uses, along with the permits that the fantastic homeowners get to hire a private contractor to spray around there docks and what not. Grass will be fine it sucks that a small portion is getting slowly eradicated but most of it is thriving and doing well. Don’t sweat it guys they’ve been doing this deal for the past several years.

[franklin18722]

ha...now if you would have said TVA then maybe lol. TWRA has no control over the lake.

[Wackyjig]

It is TVA and they start a slow draw down to winter pool in September. Them pulling the water down just helps the frog fishing because grass that hasn't made it to the surface gets exposed
