I plead guilty! (see video in link below)

My brother and I dropped some standing dead trees into our pond.
I caught fish last weekend out of the fallen tree structure.

Personally I like dead timber structure that is not completely submerged.
As a kid I grew up fishing on lakes full of standing dead timber.
I just dig the look and feel of a lake with logs, fallen trees, ect..
Some give it a thumbs down becuz it may attract birds, or it rots away.
Some want a "cleaner look" or a swimming hole, ect....
But I love it.....

Timber!


Fishing has never been about the fish....
