So to summarize so far…

HSB will relate to food and potentially structure more so than cover. Provided we can sustain populations of TFS, another species unlikely to relate to cover, adding cover in this section of the pond will likely not impact behavior.

Adding cover that can reach up closer to the surface where there is more DO will attract bluegill and LMB which can operate as additional forage options for HSB and additional angling opportunities as well.
