Thank you for all of the input thus far. To sort of break down what the pond is being built for is 98% fishing and if the ducks find it in the fall, 2% hunting and dog training. I believe that the primary purpose for the weeds that I will be adding is for fish habitat. I believe that submergent weeds will be my primary focus. I love what coontail and milfoil do for the fish, however, not how they take over a body of water. Also, I am considering crayfish as a secondary food source for the bass and I understand that they( crays) will eat aquatic weeds. I have not seen if they love all things that grow underwater, or if there are weeds that they like or dislike more then others. I have not seen if they will wipe out an existing patch or just help keep it in check. Lots to learn. Retired on 40, I will search out the article that you mentioned and that, I am sure will guide me in the way I will go. As I get deeper into my understanding of a new pond build, I will surely have more defined questions. I would guess soil type, water makeup and all sorts of other variables will play into my choice of weeds. And then how to eradicate unwanted weeds that will find their way there on their own.
