Shallow, heavily vegetated marshes intermingled with open water pools compose the majority of the lake. Another factor influencing bass production in Tsala Apopka appears to be hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata). Hydrilla is an exotic plant species and is often considered undesirable. However, hydrilla may function as a replacement for lost native vegetation or may provide additional habitat for sport fishes.
