I have, in the past always cut back the growth along the shore. It always seems to come back better than ever, so I don't think trimming or thinning out the shoreline growth has any negative impact on the health of the shoreline root system.
whalebackpoint'r, I just noticed that you are fairly new to posting on the forum and glad you have joined us. Have fun and enjoy the Winni Forum while making many new friends.

Thanks for the input about cutting the bushes along the lake and the regrowth coming back stronger. I have the exact thing happening to mine over the past 40 years.
