John Wayne,
Below is a picture of what cattails will do in drought conditions with lowering water level. This area is normally 4 ft. deep with a �few� cattails in shallow end.
Here�s the solution to our cattail problem � upper end deepened by 4 ft , so should be 8 ft deep when and if it ever rains again.
By the way � I�ll be happy to send you some, but believe me, you don�t want them�..
