Agriculture/non-toxic fish friendly weed killer

Question
I have a creek lined with rocks over grown with weeds. What do I use to kill. The weeds without harming the fish

Answer
Gregg
Just thinking about the fish. Will killing off the weeds increase the temperature of the creek? Will killing the weeds eliminate the insects that will fall in the creek for the fish to eat? If you don't think these two items will effect the fish, then I would use Round-Up. Follow the directions and make sure you do not get any of the spray in the water.
Good Luck,
Richard
