man made fish habitats

[setthehook]

I was wondering if any of you have made fish habitats or know some one who has. I was wondering because i am trying to get ideas together for a eagle scout project

[daveedka]

I have, but it will take me a couple of days to find the plans or re-create them.

ive took hollow logs,tree limbs,cinder blocks,old chrismas trees and sunk them for the fish

[olhillbilly]

yeah, I was gonna say old christmas trees. I one time sold over three hunnerd cedar trees to a bait farm for such. They were gonna take em an sink em. Gee, that was years ago. They wanted em from five to six feet in height. Which at the time our farm had lots of em growin all over the place. I got .25 cents a tree back then. That wudnt even pay for the gas nowadays.

They put down those porcupine things at my brother in laws tank. Bill Dance or somebody advertises them. I think I saw them at bass pro. He said they really work.

Use a plastic 55 gallon drum ( inside cleaned/ not toxic to fish,water ) ; cut 1/2 of the bung end away; lay the drum on the side with the opening to the top; tie a concrete block inside on the bottom; drill a couple of dozen 1/2 inch holes along the sides and bottom. Place it where you want it and let it sink to the bottom. Remember not to sink it to where it would be below the thermocline in the body of water. Moving bodies of water does not have thermoclines normally....
