Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat ? Adding cover = greater fish growth

ewest,

I think the BG and RE were larger in the ponds with cover. I think the bass would probably be only slightly smaller...maybe insignificantly smaller.

Wisdom in my parts is that fish need 30% weeds and shallows to maintain a healthy, "self-supporting" pond. (no fertilizer, no feeding, and no frequent corrective stocking needed.)
