Reply With QuoteThey are building "Fellsmere Farms." Haven't checked it this year, were still working on it last year. It shares the east levy of Stick, but much larger. Another catch/release trophy bass lake, will be good speck fishing at some point.

Any south Florida guys got anything on Stick Marsh? Heard they were expanding it? Open yet?

It was suppose to have been opened this fall, everything was completed and they were waiting for it to be flooded. But now the St Johns Water management has pushed it back because they are concerned about the east levy needing more reinforcement due to a future housing development being built there. These guys couldn't manage a worm farm let alone an immense river system. Just to vent, over the years they have nuked Poinsett and Winder into nothing but a vast mud hole, killed virtually all beneficial vegetation that's needed to sustain quality life in any ecosystem, was out there a Friday and guess who else is there, 6 airboats spraying a firehouse of weed killer on everything they can find that is green. These guys have no idea on how to manage our lakes, its a real shame as I'm sure it all boils down to money, the use it or lose it mentality. Anyway the new Fellsmere Reservoir will be an awesome fishery whenever they do open it, here is link to anyone who hasn't heard about it. Fishin.com - Best Bass Fishing Lake Fellsmere Reservoir

Don't be scared to educate yourselves more on the vegetation management in lakes and waterways I work for one of the biggest outfits in the state and there is way more science that goes into it than u could ever imagine! There has recently been a infestation of a new plant into rivers and lakes in central Florida called"ludwigia grandiflora" without control it could and will possibly be worse than hydrilla!

New plant? What I can find on it shows native to Florida as well as Central and South America. And can only be controlled by pulling not spraying. This was on cabi.org

New as in it a type of "ludwigia grandiflora" that grows differently than the one that was currently here and it is highly invasive! And as far as "nuking the hole place" to the eyes of the average person could simply be a floating plant treatment where everything Browns out but only floaters actually die and the rest of the plants will green back up in due time! Take some good to get some rid of the bad kinda deal!! U should be able to find some info on the UF Invassive plants website
