Description
I dont understand whythe state dosent do anything about the lilly pads.in the past 10 or so years it has gotten worse and worse to the point that now aprx 70% of the accessable coast line is no longer fishable.This used to be a very productive lake with bass,pickerel,perch,crappie and tons of sunfish.the sunfish are depleated havent cought a pickerel in years come to think of it havent cought a cat fish in quite a wile now.I feel if the DEP isent going to address the fish issues here then they need to stop patrolling the lake all together.

Hi John,
Thanks for reporting the issue. I called the DEP to ask about the status of the pond and got Chuck Lee on the phone. He is familiar with the pond and that it's always been fairly shallow so weeds are an issue. But he suggested that you call him at 860-424-3716.
Here's a link to the DEP's "Caring for our Lakes" page.

Here's a link to a document that describes some of the weeds you're talking about on pages 16 and 17:
