Agreed with what has been said.

You have to look at it as 2 different areas. 1) above waterline 2) below waterline

Cattails are out. You'd be looking at more problems than they are worth, and if left unchecked, they will grow too close together to afford any cover for fish.

Arrowhead, Pickerelweed, different rushes and sedges. You are probably looking for more emergent marginal plants than submerged plants for the "below waterline" area. Make sure nothing that you plant is considered to be an invasive species in your area. More problems than benefits.
