These are plants that are a few of the plants in my lake. I've checked Aquaplant, and am just wondering if you all agree with my assessment. I'm not particularly interested in the Smartweed or Pondweed for control, but the Chara/Naiad is a problem, so that's what I would like to control. Thanks, Al 1) Smartweed  2) American Pondweed  3) Chara or Naiad???

Top 2 are right, botton definately isn't Chara. Sago Pondweed maybe?

We thought that it might be young sago originally. As it aged it became very "brittle". I know there are different species so not sure exactly which one.

If the consensus is Naiad, then thanks. It really took off as my lake dropped and cleared up last year.
I have Reward in my cache, but I assume it would have to be sprayed subsurface, and I've never done this before. Would grass carp be an easier option?

Not sure where it falls in grass carp preference scale. I have grass carp in my pond (light stocking rate). They don't seem to eat it. I do have other vegitation that I think they prefer like narrow leaf pondweed. They also like the Aquamax 600 I am feeding
