Yes, I do. My personal experience has led me to a policy of less is more when structure is concerned. It's not the right thing for everyone, but it is for me. I prefer PVC structure that is snagless, mobile, and will outlast me and my kids. I only have 5 concentrated areas in my 4 acre pond with this structure, but I also have tons of American and Horned pondweed that more than suffices for structure.

Again, my goals are to encourage predation of my BG, so less cover is what I want. 2:1 slopes and am now allowing my pond to drop about 4' this Fall to encourage more BG predation as they'll run out of aquatic vegetation to use as structure/cover/habitat.

Every pond is different - but this is my strategy to help
me achieve my specific pond management goals.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
