Some of the pvc trees may need to be 4 ft while another may work best at 14 ft. All identified locations need to be covered and with the right depth/size of structure. Distance is hard to tell on a pic sometimes. IMO the deeper water trees should be about 30 feet + apart (edge to edge 30 feet between edges). You may not need as many trees as you have dots but may want the limbs of some trees wider.


The distance from the far corner in the picture to the edge of the island which is to the left of the picture is about 230'. I was going to make the lower branches longer, about 3'-4' from trunk and have them get shorter as they go up, for stability. Why place them so far apart? Will the fish still use them as a 'path way' being so far apart?
