I tried posting these photos before and it didn't work so I'll see if I can get it this time. Here's a look at some of the things I've put in my new pond. It's still filling and what water I do have is frozen so it's pretty easy to get around and put things in. I have some deep cover mainly with the thought of ice fishing, and I've done some shallow structure for spawn cover. It's a lot of fun and kind of addictive so I'm sure I'm not done.
Pond prior to cover (about 1.8 acres)
PVC stuff I've made. 3 more porcupines not pictured.
Rock piles that will sit in about 10' of water.
Deep cover. Left over pvc pipes driven into ground like spikes. Hopefully they stay put.
4 of these pallet houses are in a shallow area for spawning cover.
If you look close you can see the start of my bluegill condo. It's made out of 2 old garage shelf brackets. I need more 4" tile for more condos.
I want my fish to be in good physical condition.
