Hello all. I have a new( very old) couple of ponds. I am in the process of renovating the smaller of the two for smallies, and the other we are going to stock LMB. Both ponds as of now have very little or no cover and I am slowly building materials for both. I have seen some good ideas on here, and have had a couple that I think are good also. I just wanted to share them with yall.
I saw the post about the bucket bushes with the 1/2 inch pex water lines. Wonderful idea. My idea is a variation of that. I want more of a tree type structure, so I am going to get smaller buckets or milk jugs, or something to that effect and add the pex water lines at varying lengths. Fill the jug with "Great Stuff" and attach a rope from the bottom of the jug or bucket. Repeat these steps one or two more times and weight the bottom down with a cinder block or some type of anchor. The great stuff will float the jugs and you will have a taller structure. This will work good in lakes and ponds that need taller things. Just an idea. Let me know what you think.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn." -
