I built a lot of structure. I'd been wanting to do this for a long time and had looked at a lot of stuff on the internet.
Here are some samples of some of the items I made, in addition to rock piles, ledges, drop offs and a large dirt ridge in the water....and a garden of cement lawn deer and large tile piles around my island and other strategic locations.....I have enough time invested in them I hope it pays off.
It was funny listening to some of the old timers talk about it when they didn't know I was in a store or who had done it.
I have a smaller pond I drained that would run directly into this one with a pipe and I plan to fix it and put a 6" pipe running into the pond I can with a valve...and stock the small pond with minnows and crawfish and twice per year open the gate for a while to flood food.
Also, I'm tinkering with an natural fish feeder idea.
I want to hang a battery powered bug zapper over the water with a shepherd's hook....put a solar panel on a battery with a timer....even if it runs a couple of hours/night, it'll work.
