    LDWF to aerial spray Lake Long..

    I often wonder who makes these decisions and if this gets voted on.

    http://www.wlf.louisiana.gov/news/41576

    The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has scheduled an aerial herbicide application for Lake Long in Lafourche Parish from October 11 through 12, weather permitting, to control large expanses of water hyacinth hindering lake access.

    The planned aerial application will treat approximately 650 acres in Lake Long and Little Lake Long. The herbicides used for this application are EPA-approved for use in aquatic environments.

    The public boat launch on Texas Gulf Road in Bourg will be used as a staging and fueling area for the helicopter, so boaters are urged to avoid both this site and the application area during the scheduled spray.

    Depends on what they use. There are some herbicides that only work on emergent vegetation. Only kills what is sticking out of the water and not what is underwater. We should know in about a week.

    Why they doing it now? If they wait another 2-3 weeks, the big northerners will blow them out into the ICW. Plus, the guys building blinds and getting ready for duck season will break them up. LOL.

    thats the million dollar question. We even had a bass boat in our club pass through it last weekend. I guess someone needs more space for the ducks to land.
