Hi Paul & All, Aug 16, 2012
Yes, I have eaten S. latifolia tubers; boiled. Texture was a bit =
soft, taste fine but gathering them involved much mucky work. The astute =
way to gather them, so I now understand, is to raid Muskrat stores.=20

Subject: [NatureNS] Arrowheads
Hi All
This afternoon I went to a small lake to try out a fly
that I had conjured up. I left for home when it started to rain!
I hadn't been to this lake in the last few weeks and since
my last visit someone had hauled out a ramp that had been there for =
years.
It went over the peaty ground between the real shore and the water.
The ramp was as a guess 3 meters long by 1 meter wide and
of course had killed the vegetation below it. So now there is a peaty
patch you wouldn't want to step in.
Anyway Arrowheads have colonized the open area and are
in full bloom. Quite attractive but late I think for flowers. They are
the Broad leafed species ( Sagittaria latifolia ).
Someone once told me they produce tubers which overwinter and grow
next year. I was also told Native peoples used them as a source of =
food
and dug the tubers and cooked them.
Has anyone ever eaten them?
The fly produced a few White Perch quite nice ones 25 - 30 cms.
Mary once had discussed White Perch becoming a species at risk but I =
never
heard anything more - These seem to thrive in lakes with Small Mouth =
Bass
but are unpredictable when they can be caught - for me at least.
Others may know how to do it on a regular basis.
Have a nice evening
Paul
