Unfortunately you are seeing the beginning of a big problem. Most of the mifoil is a non- native to NH but is very aggressive and if left untreated will occupy every inch of your area chocking out other aquatic life. Currently there is no long term solution for the weed. In my neck of the woods, our association got together and paid for a chemical treatment that seems to do the trick, however it is required every year so it is not cheap.

Without the treatment, no fish, no swimming, no fun!

Here is a link that gives more info http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/wq/pl...s/milfoil.html

Also, there is a published report by the NHDES on the Lower Suncook lake experiment http://www.des.state.nh.us/wmb/exoti...h_Proj_F_R.pdf

Good luck
