Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Corrective stocking Skinny LMB in old pond

I'm going to have to be creative, most things will have to fit through a 10" hole in the ice.

I'm making something right now out of concrete posts and pvc. It will be long and narrow, but will provide plenty of shelter for forage. I'll put 10 of them throughout the lake.

I'll also come back up in spring to put some bigger structures in with some 5g allon buckets, bottoms cut out and 3 or 4 fitted together, with spikes of 1/2 inch pvc sticking out in bunches (like big, plastic hedgehogs) off the sides. Just have to find a way to cap off the pvc...since little kids swim this lake, i'd hate to see someone get impaled. Maybe a slat of cedar around it to bing it all together would work.

Also....there are a few pallets down there already, i could drop in cinderblock constructions on and around those.

see what you did? now you got my carpenter mind on. Looks like i'll be hammering away between chasing tip[-ups this weekend.

Thanks guys!
