Victoria Canal

Regarding the three or so mile straight channel down on Victoria, a few years ago lots of weed lines on the center berm were poisoned. Can anyone tell me if there’s any semblance of a weed line on that berm nowadays? This channel has always been pretty popular with skiers and wakeboarders.
