I have mixed emotions about cattails.
They are a fish magnet and good cover for forage fish � however, I�ve yet to convince my son of this fact and he�s the one that has to do the hard work to control them�.
I am concerned that GC and tilapia will over-control the pond vegetation, but with this years explosion of pond weed, now well controlled, maybe not�
I guess I�m swimming against the tide � but I think they add a natural look to a pond, as long as they are restricted to local shallow water areas � which they are.
Restricts fishing from the pond bank in some spawning areas, which may not be all bad.
Does anyone else share this opinion?
