This spraying stuff is new to me, but am I right in assuming I absolutely should not put my kayak in anywhere near the sprayed areas? Wondering for the weekend.

He has sprayed from one end to the other.

Not only from one end to the other, but from one side to the other side. He has been treating more than just around private docks and public use area's for TVA. Face it, they want it gone and have the funds and political power to do it with.

It is the 1980's all over again. Enjoy the great fishing now because its days are numbered.
