There's difference in cover for the fish too. Finer pieces (less space between the branches) gives protection for YOY fish, but not larger fish. It's not only the amount of cover that you place in the pond, it's the type of cover, AND where it's placed in the pond.

Place it all in the deepest part of the pond, and you'll get the most use out of it during the winter, when the pond is frozen.

Place all of it in shallow water, and it won't be used at all during the winter - just the summer. Place it in very shallow water, and only little fish will utilize it.
