Bill D. have you found sources for all your plants yet? If so could you send a pm as to where they are available? My pond is currently filling now and I am hoping to get some plants and my forage fish introduced next year if I get lucky enough to get a wet enough winter/spring to bring it up to level. I would assume most plants that will work for you should work in southern IL as well.
Also do you have a link to the report from IDNR that you mentioned?
