NAIAS—Bushy Pondweed 
The Naias or Bushy Pondweed is an important 
wild duck food, all parts of the plant are eaten by 
them. It grows in waters ranging in depth from 1 
foot to 6 feet, on either sand, clay or mud bottom. 
Naias is a strictly fresh water plant. It grows en- 
tirely submerged, seldom ever exceeding one foot in 
height and makes a sort of soft green carpet of moss 
over the bottom.

cover and oxygenating plant 
for game fish. It also helps 
clarify the water.

broadcasting into the water.
