I like the yellow iris because it grows 1/2 as tall as cattails. That way there is less plant material to rot in the water. With all the shallow water I have. I have the potential of having 15 to 20 acres of cattails.

61 acre water shed lake. bass, channel cat, black crappie, wiper, walleye, redear sunfish, blue catfish and bluegill. To many bullhead and common carp
