I keep reading that bamboo and willows make great crappie structures. I have to drive a ways to find willow, don't know if I can find bamboo. But... I have tons of sycamore. Anyone know if it's as good as willow for attracting fish? Trying to decide if I should make the drive or just use what's on hand.

Thanks in advance for insights!

I don't like to just lay them over like hing cutting as it floods often and those end up making a mess. Anything I put in is weighted down and sunk is a certain spot. Otherwise it's just a mess waiting to happen.


Ive put in hundreds of tons of rocks along the north bank. Many dump truck loads! Just none on the dam. It might be one of the first. Not sure on dates.

Not much in the way of fish. It's the north shore line that receives a lot of wind/waves in the summer. It's silted and shallow. The rocks stopped the erosion, but didn't provide much structure for fishing. I do think it's helped the crawfish population though.
