Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help removing dead trees in pond?

That amount of trees in a pond or lake is minimal and adds to overall habitat, when considering overall habitat keep in mind ~20% of your pond is needed for habitat. Those trees depending on depths could possible benefit you, if it was me I would think about not cutting them all down and use them to enhance that area for your fishery.

Also in conjunction with that, I agree with Highflier and pat about using them for ducks. Your pond can be used for multiple species and not just for fish but for everything above it. Teehjeah is correct about the cormorants limit their ability to preach on the trees--note on that, If you see 1 or 2 there do all you can to discourage them from staying around. Those are called sentries and when they find a food source they tell the rest. That can spell trouble for your fishery.

Love to hear how this continues...
