Fish Habitat

Fish habitat and cover are often overlooked when building new ponds. In many aging ponds habitat is limited or missing altogether. Understanding where and how fish will live and hunt is a major factor in how successful anglers are. Proper placement and abundance of fish habitat is integral to these successes. ARC Lake and Pond can assist you in making a habitat plan for your new lake or pond as well as greatly improve conditions in existing ponds. 

Fish need cover for several functions of daily life. Fish habitat comes in many shapes and densities. Location relative to shape and depth of a pond is crucial for proper placement. Dense cover near spawning areas to promote forage growth and survival will help grow bigger healthier fish. Strategically placed ambush points for predators will not only help them catch easy meals but it will allow anglers a place to target their trophies.   

Some natural materials, like woody cover, are a great way to get life started in a pond. Unfortunately these materials are broken down by nature quickly and must be reintroduced often to maintain quality habitat and living conditions for your fish. This process is often laborious and costly. Artificial habitat offers a long lasting, easily fishable, and economical option for your management goals.
