Any suggestions on getting rid of it? I will look into professional help, but I’m not aware of any in this region.

Biological option: "....first thing to do is ID it, and someone should be along shortly to help. Once you achieve that you can determine if it's preferred forage for GC, and if so, they are a biological option, but don't overstock and be patient for results."

Herbicide option: "Different macrophytes respond to different herbicides - so once you ID it you could perform spot treatments. I use Aquathol Super K, and while expensive, it always performs well for spot treatments on pondweeds and coontail. However - cheaper and more effective treatment options may exist depending on the plant ID. I rarely use herbicides so I'm not super well versed."
