What is your pond's water temperature? Keep watching for weed growth to show as the water gets above 55F. Then I think at least some stems with leaves will show up at they quickly 'reach' for the surface. I do hope your crayfish are reducing the growth of the CLPW however IMO crayfish are very vulnerable to predation on bottom areas to eat early growth of CLPW. I have seen with my Aqua-View CLPW 6"-12" tall on the bottom in mid winter under ice. Crayfish are still pretty dormant and not real active and do not eat very much when water temps are below 50F. Does the pond have bass 12"-16"? Then crays eating bottom weed growth away from dense structure are easy meals for hungry bass.
