Compared to other pond plants it will grow in fairly deep water so it does not stay neatly contained to a shore line. It can make both boating and fishing very difficult.

But that's just my opinion. Wait for confirmation from an expert. Plus I freely admit that I hate Elodea with extreme prejudice.


JHAP - this counts as a good post don't you agree?

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
