For the life of me I could never understand the science community who feel it is in the best interest of a living body of water to introduce invasive species to control another invasive species to kill weed growth and mismanage a body of water . An example is the introduction of asian carp to control weed growth. Now asian carp are a severe threat. Killing weed growth in a body of water may make shoreline land owners happy because they no longer have weeds near their dock now have a body of water that is dirty,dead and void of life. Harris chain of lakes were literally destroyed for decades back in the 80's because of weed killer. St. Lawrence Smallmouth and largemouth are thriving because of mussels cleaning up the water and goby that the fish are dining on.
Sorry to hear the weather sucks there. It does here too. Summer has not started and 4th of July is only 2 weeks away. It's been unseasonably cool and raining constantly
