I screwed up my old pond with cane. It will take over even faster if there is a drought.
The only thing I could find to kill it is a weed poison called Rodeo, and you have to have a herbicide license to buy it.
I would try to get some mangroves or cat tails growing. They are easier to kill with simple weed killers.
You will regret cane after a few years.
The only good thing about cane is it does a good job of camoflaging and it is easy to cut and put out cause it is so thick. But it will fall into the water and every joint on every stalk will start a new stalk....ect until it plugs off ditches in the summer and eventually clogs ponds.
