Losing a year or two of any spawning class will put the lake in a downward spiral for years to come. I believe we are seeing the results of the spraying now starting.
And if you had a weed issue around your private dock on public water, and started spraying something that will kill the weeds but with unknown effects on spawning fish, invertebrates, waterfowl, water quality, etc. They'd shut you down immediately and throw in some hefty fines for good measure.
