....I've researched adding rooted plants to my pond, but have been leary so far. I worry about creating a control problem I didn't originally have. But right now, I have cattails along the main dam (and ONLY there, oddly enough) and lots of FA. I've wondered if planting that long finger with rooted plants wouldn't be the worst idea, given that it's too shallow at this point for much effective fishing.
Doc,
FWIW I look at rooted vegetation a little differently. You see, "I worry about creating a control problem I didn't originally have." I see, "creating habitat I didn't originally have." IMO when it comes to vegetation, you can choose desirable species and get them going or let Ma Nature fill the gap and take what you get. She will fill the gap given time.
