Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat Horizontal vs Vertical (big bass)?

Use both vertical and horizontal cover/structure! See the following for info. Use vertical cover in deep water so that all of the pond is productive not just the shoreline.

Here is what Ray Scott did with his famous LMB lake. Note both types of cover and locations.




One bit of info to address your question;
"Underwater diving studies have shown that artificial habitat of which the fish prefer most, stands a minimum of 1/2 the water depth, with 2/3 or more being much better. Objects standing from bottom to surface were utilized most by the largest number of fish, bugs and creatures."
