I had a pond dug last spring and it just filled up. It is about 2/3 of an acre and 15 feet deep. I realize now that I sould have put some structure in it for the fish. Besides Christmas trees, does anyone have any any suggestions what type of structure I can put in it and how? Thanks.

Hey Brent, if you scroll through the messages in this section you will find a TON of ideas on what to use as structure. Good luck.

Brent, After my pond filled up I sank wood pallets. I tied bundles of 5 or 6 together with nylon rope and attached a concrete block to it. Then I towed the pallets to the location desired, and anchored then with a few bricks and string. The pallets will not sink until they become waterlogged, a week or two in my case. In my 3.5 acre pond I sank 15 bundles.

If you wait for it to freeze you can then drag anything you are able to over the area where you want the structure. Then just wait for the ice to melt and down it will go. Be sure to weight it down so it sinks.

I'm sold on the old concrete culverts fish love them, they sink, they roll, and if you catch the hi-way department at the right time they give them away. Good luck.

Tires are free, and you can make a lot of cool structures with them. You can sink singles, three tires in a pyramid, or anything you can imagine.

I'm sure it's frowned upon and not that healthy for fishys but when I was a kid my dad pushed an old car in our pond. He owned a junk yard so it was cheap and I caught the biggest bass of my life 9 lbs. right over it.
