Mark, I've done them every way but not well. Think about how you will fish them. Your lure should travel towards the top, not the stump. Less hangups that way.
I put them in green but have often wondered if I should let the needles die before using them. So far no ill effects other than the extra finger I grew after swimming.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
