Hopefully others using grass carp for management of CLPW will provide testimony. New sand areas will soon be infested with aggressive growth of new CLPW due to distribution of the turions as the plants die back in summer. In my experience GC are not real fond of CLPW, but high numbers of them could provide some control early season. Once the CLPW forms the winter bud turions, GC eat a lot less of it. Consider using spot treatment or whole pond chemical treatments to get desired control of the CLPW.
