This is sort of a spinoff from a recent post by dph. But, it was suggested to me a couple of weeks ago to put soemthing out on Forum for your comments on this topic.
Basically it is this. Is it better not to have any aquatic vegetation in a pond, as can sometimes be risked by an overstocking of Grass Carp or using too much Sonar, than it is to keep some weeds for whatever their benefit may be? What if one just decided to say, "I've had it with looking at weeds in my pond and just want a clean bottom. Maybe I will just use artificial structure for fish cover to keep my bass and blugill happy."
So, can I have your opinions on this? The consequnces of either? Thanks.
