Sago Pondweed (Stuckenia pectinata)

A perennial plant that arises from thickly matted rhizomes and has no floating leaves. The stems are thin, long, and highly branching with leaves very thin and filament-like. It is generally completely submersed except the reproductive stalk that peaks above the water.

Concern: Dense formations can limit movement of predator fish and inhibit fishing. Because it is considered a harmful plant it can hinder recreational activities and irrigation.
