By the way, I like Rob Lammerts' suggestion -- convince local authorities that weeds in the lake are bad for tourism -- they foul propellers and they are a safety hazard for swimmers who may become entangled in them and drown. I think I have heard of that device he mentioned for cutting the weeds.
We actually have a "weed muncher" that patrols our lake. Although I must admit that we often speculate as to whether that thing is a weed eradicator, or a weed seeder!
This year, the weeds on our lake are just awful. It's somewhat seasonal, in that they are at their worst in June. They can also be especially bad if the preceding winter didn't provide a lot of snow. Snow cuts down on light reaching the weeds in the winter, which in turn cuts down on the weed population.
