The Lampreys are nothing compared to the milfoil. It costs over $2000 per acre to spray and even more to cut. This summer the DNR wouldn't give us the permit for either.



It made for a nice quiet summer but its pointless to have a boat.

I was talking with a guy that helped develop Agent Orange. He said the active ingredient that kills the vegetation would be great in lakes to kill millfoil. And after a short period in the water (3 days?) it is reduced to harmless chemicals. I almost want to say that it would only kill the stuff near the surface where the sunlight is - but not sure.

And he said the nasty chemicals (for humans) was in the “sticky” stuff they added to it so it would stick to the leaves in Vietnam. But the herbicide itself wasn’t too bad.
