Been there done that with cattails. Like I said they should be easy to kill and then cut them off and remove them once they turn yellow to keep them from decomposing in the pond.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
Definitely some type of Rush. Any type of glyphosate herbicide should do the job like Shorekill.
Cecil: Have you ever used glyphosate (successfully) to control a rush species (bulrush / Scirpus spp)? Just wondered, since my attempts with glyphosate weren't successful; likewise with imazapyr. On the other hand, 2,4-D and triclopyr did an excellent job - which goes against conventional wisdom since these two active-ingredients are typically effective only on broadleaf species.
The weed is a species of spike rush genus Eleocharis. Some species are taller than others. It doesn't grow real tall nor real deep. It is a pretty good shoreline plant and keeps other more problematic species crowded out. IMO it is much better than bullrush or cattails.

It works on my Bullrush Kelly.

Good to know. Now I'm wondering why my experience was different...??
