Young anglers had some new hot spots to try on Antigo Lake this week.
As part of the Inland Lake District’s cattail eradication project, the weeds were trimmed—with an eye on destruction—on the north side of the lake’s two basins located between the Watson Street bridge and the Fourth Avenue dam.
Administrator Mark Desotell said city crews used equipment they fabricated to cut the heads of the cattails one foot below the water level in a project approved by the Department of Natural resources. That pruning method, undertaken before the cattails go to seed, should kill the growth.
