Thanks for the info. They have been dropping pellets in that area for weeks now. Most of the grass is dead. Not sure how much more they can kill in 5 days.

Map on the website can't be really zoomed in. Only the list of areas and you have to figure them out on your own. Very vague and I'm sure that's the way they want it. They've been spraying and pelleting everywhere and ruining the ecosystem. I've found more dead beavers in the past month out there than I've seen in twelve years fishing the delta. Too bad it's not killing off the seals too.......

They have to make sure there is no place for those baby bass to hide.

I'm not positive, but I think I saw quite a few areas in Old river south east of Franks that looked pelletized today. Big areas of dark grass, that looked less than alive. I'm new to the Delta, so I'm not completely sure of what I saw, but it was definitely different than surrounding areas. Also, something that seemed kind of strange, I saw large areas of Tulle that were wilted and damaged, almost looked dead, that a week ago were very healthy looking. Not sure if that's related.

The pellet boat was in Sandmound today. They came down one side to the end of the last tulle island, and then back up the other side, spraying pellets. The two guys working the boat said they were treating for what I call elodea (hydrilla).
