Our new 2 acre pond/lake/ tank (in Texas it's a tank!) was filled by good spring rains. We are now stocking the tank with bait fish, black bass, channel cat and blue cat. Besides the artificial "tree" we also added concrete culvert pipes in 8 locations. Gravel was laid to make a base for the pipe so it doesn't roll down the bank. Then more pea gravel was put over the pipe to provide nesting areas for the fish spawn. Hopefully next year we will be fishing.
Exactly what I was looking for! Great build! Perfect for the pond I’m getting close to stocking this year! I’m almost finished building it! Thanks for the excellent information. I might build mine somewhat different but basically the same🙏🏻👌🏽
I like the design of your tree, but I sure don't think there's any possible way that the "tree" is going to stand up only using a cement block at the bottom. Regardless of whether you poor it full of concrete or not. Simply not large enough a footprint for something that tall.
to eliminate the trial and error when you wallow out the holes, you can taper the end of the irrigation pipe. it will go into the PVC tight tight tight. also, as long as you're not putting those in a hard bottomed lake, you can just taper the bottom of the PVC too. Then make something like a fence post driver and stick em in the lake bed.
I think it might work better if the tubing was pointing downward like a tree . The fish will get up under them. And if you shorten the post about 6 or 7 feet they won't be so top heavy. Great video though. Thank you.

I made 3 of these this spring they are working great. Caught several 12 to 16 inch crappie off them within 2 weeks on lake Hartington in Kentucky.

great vid, thinking of buliding my own pond
You'll love it i have one 🐸
Great idea I'll be using that . Also I feel we should support each other so I also liked and rang that bell 😁👍
Awesome video! Definitely going to try this

pallets and a block
Go to woodprix if you'd like to build it yourself.
great job but putting plastic in a beautiful lake/ pond is littering.. sort of joking but plastic is pretty nasty
