Searching Information:
- An identification guide including other tutorial information will be found at this link.
- Hints for Searching. Milfoil is usually found along shoreline and in shallow water, frequently near boat launching areas. Milfoil and Zebra Mussel larvae may reach the Lake via boats, engines and live bait boxes.
- Search in flat calm (early morning). Polarized glasses help on bright days. A garden rake can be helpful in retrieving the weed BUT DO NOT ALLOW FRAGMENT OF SUSPICIOUS WEED TO DRIFT AWAY.
