Bill,
I wish I knew the right name(s). I just can't distinguish it from Southern Naiad and various pondweed species, but as best I can determine it is pondweed. Could you id it if I sent you some...or posted a picture?
Also, Bill, what is your take on this unpredictable spawn characteristic of crappie in small ponds? If real, and it sure seems to be real, it would seem to make crappie stocking in a small pond a crap shoot...at best. I know of no management techniques in which you can effectively "hire and fire predators" to keep the crappie in check, With that characteristic, crappie management has to be an intensive effort, at best. I'd really like to hear your views on that. Thanks.
