Thanks Timberframe

I will be stocking my newly renovated pond in the spring. The weeds have not yet grown around the edges of the pond. There is little cover for the fathead minnows except for a few leaves that blew in the pond in fall. I was thinking of throwing some christmas trees in around one end near the shore to provide a little cover for the minnows. Otherwise, I think the trout will make short work of my 1,000 fathead minnows.

Any other low or no cost solutions to providing cover for minnows. I do have a hundred acre farm and could cut some brush but I don't know if this would make the pond harder to fish from shore.

Any ideas?
