I don't mind if it goes around the pond and stabilizes my shore from wind erosion. I just want the pond to remain fishable from the bank by little people.

What are you referring to when you say "it"? I have had Blue Iris in places around my pond and in 8 years it's gone from a patch that was the size of a 5 gal bucket to 4' from the water x 10 '-15' wide.
