Pond Boss Forums AQUATIC VEGETATION Controlling unwanted plants Bottom of pond covered in coontail

I have a one acre pond (when it's full) and probably 90 percent of the botton is covered with coontail. It's a little annoying when fishing, but not a big issue. I'm sure its good cover for little fish. I guess my question is, is there a reason I should try and get it cut back? Could it have negative affects on my pond?












Pretty much the only other vegetation is what looks like marsh seedbox (according to a plant ID app). It is mostly limited to the (now dry) bank of about half the pond.
