Pond weeds
Local DNR said we have different pond weed here in Iowa and was trying to learn if this can be fish effectively or if it grows on different kinds of bottoms and what exactly is pond weeds?
does anyone here have any knowledge on this topic

Not an expert by any means. Here in NH, we get three species that I know of. The one I look for is Curly Leaf (usually called cabbage). curly.png
It grows out to 8'-10' in clear lakes, doesn't always top out/never mats up. Holds LM and SM, often the only substantial grass in our infertile glacial lakes.
Floating Leaf is a little more common here, tops out and can get pretty dense, shallower (6' maybe). Good cover when the bass are up. floating leaf.jpg
We get another floating variety with small leaves, maybe 1" long. The stems can get dense underwater. I only see it in currented areas, and not often at that.
