Great link ewest! I'll use most of these. I know that I'm not supposed to cover more than 20% of my area, these are great ways to make cover and structure.

Esshup, I may use 3 gallon buckets or something of the sort. A jug may not be the best option, although it would work in a pinch.

I had someone donate a few used railroad ties to my project. Will they harm the water? I also cut several wood posts from clearing the underbrush. I am letting them cure as we are still draining the pond for renovation. If I let them cure for a month or so before I set them in the pond to serve as standing timber I should avoid any tannins right? Thanks again guys!


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." -
