Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Identifying plants What I thought was hydrilla? Help?

Esshup, I've made the prickly rope at 100' and works great. Except my pond is 2 acres and the first bunch I corralled and skimmed in filled over 20 wheel barrows full, VERY labor intensive and doesn't even seem like a put a dent in it overall.

This is why I'm considering Fluridone (although not a fan of chemicals) to just nuke the pond of the mess I have (DW and Coontail)
