Late winter before last ('15-16) I put three huge bundles of honeysuckle/ greenbrier/ privet tangles in my pond from the old fence row. I weighted them down with big limbs anchored to the bank. They were much thicker than cedar. I have a huge amount of BG fry now. This year they had compressed somewhat, so a month ago I put a good sized cedar on top of them. In the new pond late this past winter I put one large cedar and two huge bundles of tangled briars / honeysuckle. My wife says the brush looks ugly, but at full pool it is almost totally submerged.
