Taneycomo weeds

Seems weeds are becoming an issue in the lake....question is why? And can anything be done about it....is it bad? Or is it more fish habitat? Ideas? Opinions?

It’s been like that down there for years.

It all depends. Are they invasive species? I think in general weeds are beneficial in that they provide nursery areas for many species and some protection for prey species, but ... There are some weeds that are undesirable and there are limits to how extensive the proliferation and the benefit versus detrimental effects. Pond management goals would dictate what is or isn't desirable.

Coontail weeds hold lots of insect life. 

That is always a good place to fish a dry fly here on the White river.
