I hear you, but we need to be very sure as to the causes of things. Some people living on Eastern Lake will tell you that the Ditch Weed was growing because of Mr Williams actions. People have a tendency to get an opinion and defend it to the death. Ask questions. Ask MANY questions, and ask them to many people, including experts.
It is thought that Big Redfish and Little Redfish Lakes probably connected at some point in time. Currently, they are two separated lakes. Sand has built up on the beach between the two, likely long before anyone settled in the area. If you are going to "manage" the Lakes, you better make damn sure that you know what you are doing, the real causes of that which you are trying to control, and how mother nature would act without the interference of Man. If any of those things are not 100%, you shouldn't pretend to know what is best for the Lakes. If you want to manage something, you could start by removing septic tanks from around the Lakes and removing homes from the natural historic outflow locations, which is very wide range for most lakes.
