Hi Bill,
It's all the above. Lot's on the bottom, in between and some on the surface with the little green leaves. When we renovated the pond the upper shallow end was left alone. Alot of plants grew up in the moist open enviroment and we never ran a grader over it, I thought flooding it back with weeds and plants would be good for the ecosystem. maybe it is I don't know.
There is actually less FA now than 5 years ago but it looks like it makes it harder for the BG to have adaequate spawing areas. Kinda of a conundrum whether to try to kill the FA or leave it alone. Thanks for the response.
