I went to the much provided texas a&m plant id website and the ladybird site. Even went thru some post on this sub forum. Not sure what this is, but its growing along the bank, in clumps of my pond

Ah! Thats it for sure. I read a post about it but wasnt sure based on the stock photos.

Is that a good plant for the pond?

Good, bad, it probably depends on your perspective and if it becomes nuisance or not. I don't see water primrose around here much so I don't have an opinion on it but I can think of worse things to have growing in or around the pond. I am of the opinion that having light to moderate amounts of vegetation are good thing so long as it doesn't get out of control.

Pond weed folks would say is one of the better weeds per say if your gonna have one. Well unless your swimming in it...lol notice how it has openings around it. It's not all clumped everywhere. Fish love it and because it doesn't always cover the entire pond makes for some good fishing. The first thing I thought about when I saw your pic was wow that looks like prime time for some floating artificial baits.... like said above the key is keeping it under control if you can.

I had some in my pond but my grass carp ate it all they love pondweed. I did not put the carp in there for that reason but they ate it anyway... lol

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

You have to stay on top of it because it can be very invasive. I have been spraying mine, since I have other plants starting to grow that I do like better.

For me, now willow and primrose get sprayed. I have't had any American Pond weed get started, but I will let it spread a little more.
