DaveB--Thank you for the pictures. The bluegill crib looks like a pretty good device for not only protecting fry and minnows, but also to support perch egg "strings" during their spring spawn. I think the snow fencing is crucial to provide a surface for the gellatous mass to cling to, as I don't know that PVC alone would allow that to happen. I hope Greg breaks down and gets a new camera to see his ideas. If there are other pictures of artificial structures out there and you can identify them, it would be most appreciated. In the meantime, can anyone provided an educated guess as to how many structures should be sunk per acre of water, as well as the most favorbale places to sink them? May seem like a dumb question, But it may help all of us to do things right. Thanks folks, for any other contributions or advice.
