Nathan Stone at UAPB in Pine Bluff could probably help out also.

Why dont you use some local loggerheads in area i hear theres quite a few!!

The first step is to identify what you are trying to get rid of. Copper sulfate will kill algae and fish if your not careful. If is is aquatic vegitation, a herbicide will take care of it. Different vegetation requires certain herbicides. Grass carp are also an option in some situations. If you have an established bass population, you will need to stock larger grass carp (8-10 inches). Give me a call today and I will talk you through it. Thanks.

I suggest you let Matt guide you thru this. As a last resort- double mix generic Round up in 5 gallon bucket - add 2 bars of Ivory soap let dissolve over night mix well. Spray area well . Soap makes the round-up float. Old timey red- neck solution. Again let Matt help.

The man that raised me would use this formula to clear out duck holes that had grown up - two much.

I got him straitened out. It sounds like the small lakes were getting over run with algae. Thy will probably try grass carp (bigger than 8") at a rate of 5-10 per acre. The last resort will be copper sulfate. The lakes that they are wanting to treat have really good fish populations and they don't want to mess them up.

Thanks everyone for the help! Im gettung right on this and will let yaw know how it turns out! In a couple yrs after this problem is solved, and then managed properly, this should be a great fishery!
