As far as a dam, we don't have one. One side drops off slowly and I do worry about the roots of a willow on that side a bit. The vast bulk of the trees are on the inlet, or high side.

As far as dealing with excessive cattails, we would use a weed razor and call a work party. Cut them, pull out the cuttings and bag them for my garden.

We don't have near the shallows seen here, Our sides drop off pretty fast

One question, Does the Sonar AS kill those trees on a single use or over multiple years?
