2025 Weed Treatment Plans

See Downloads below for 2025 Weed Treatment Surveys and Plans

The Hooker Lake Management District (the District) with support from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR),proposes to assess and apply the aquatic herbicide, Aquathol K and ProcellaCOR EC, on up to 45 acres of Hooker Lake to control the excessive growth of the exotic invasive aquatic plant, Curlyleaf Pondweed and Eurasion Milfoil. This is a continuance of the plan enacted in 2022. In 2022 The District performed a whole Lake treatment using Floridone to control Eurasion Milfoil. Subsequent years we anticipate further spot treatments to control invasive species.

We anticipate the applications to occur sometime in spring, 2025 and will proceed only after the District obtains a permit for the project from the WDNR. 

Notification of the exact date of application will be provided by the posting of shoreline in and adjacent to application areas, and public access points.

The WDNR aquatic herbicide fact sheets on chemicals that may be used can be found below.   If you have further questions or to request a hard copy of the permit application, please contact:  John McEntegart, Hooker Lake Management District
