How do you decide exactly how many fish it takes to eat a lake full of weeds? In this Story We Love, Tricia explains that Austin Watershed Protection released sterile grass carp into Lake Austin to fight hydrilla, and a computer model fed with 15 years of lake data landed on one very specific number: 7,091.
JB and Sandy have questions. What if it should have been 7,095? Do the fish get a deadline? The guys remember a burger joint at Cow Creek on Lake Travis where tossing a chunk of cheeseburger set off a piranha style feeding frenzy, plus the old coin operated spitting fish at Hula Hut.
There is a serious side too, since thick hydrilla can slow floodwater and push it toward homes on the upper end of the lake.
