    Default Aquatic plant ids

    What are these?
    One is some sort of grass and has taken over most all the open bank area, displacing bull rush where it was mowed. Are either beneficial or harmful? I raked the broad leaf stuff out at one spot last year. Have two patches working in now but unsure if I should let it go or not. Thanks in advance for any info.

    Bottom one is what I call Gator Weed. Both can be taken care of by Diquat

    Leaving it will not attract every mallard

    It will spread some. Just reach down there and pull it out already.
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Not concerned with it spreading if it's of any benefit. Just wanted to know if it was a detriment of any kind. I've already eliminated one patch last year by wading out and hand pulling it, raking it out roots and all. Mentioned that in first post.
