I seem to recall that fescue doesn't tolerate foot traffic very well. However, on a dam it might be an acceptable alternative. I just don't know enough about fescue.

I have not found that catfish really contribute much to muddy water. Maybe when they get larger they will to some limited extent.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
