The grass is starting to grow on many lakes, at least the ones that aren't flooded by crazy amounts of water right now. Understanding which type of aquatic vegetation you have can help lead you to better bass fishing. Here are the links to a simple picture guide from the Midwest Aquatic Plant Management Society that covers the most commonly found "weeds" in our waters.







I read this artical and looked at the pictures and am having a hard time picking out which grass it is that grows the most on Heritage Lake. Can you tell me?

Lee,
Heritage has two predominant types of grass. One is slender/small pondweed ( http://www.ppws.vt.edu/scott/weed_id/ptmpu.htm ) and the other is common naiad. You'll also find a few miscellaneous weeds here and there, largely chara and some water stargrass.
