Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Shoreline plants now submerged. Will they die?

New pond continues to fill with water. In early spring, we had a 6-week dry spell where the pond level remained pretty constant. Many shoreline grasses/plants grew up strong around the perimeter in the spoils. I don't know exactly the species of the plants and how water-tolerant they are.

After a very wet summer, the pond level is up another 18 inches or so. Much of the grass is now partially to fully submerged.

If this trend continues, will the grasses perpetually in the water eventually die off? I hope some do, in order the open up the shoreline.

Gotcha. Rod beat me to it. Really nice looking property.

I use CattPlex with a surfacant, safe for fish and keeps cat tails out of my ponds fine. Have used it for years and have been very pleased with it. Cat tails go yellow a few days after spraying and die clear into root system.

I don't bother raking it out.
