Abstract:

Underwater structures like piles of rocks or rubber tires and sunken ships attract many varieties of fish which find shelter and food sources there. The North Carolina Wildlife Commission regularly \"stocks\" lakes and ponds across the state with discarded Christmas trees, brush piles, and dead trees. Sinking this material in lakes and ponds enhances the ability of these bodies of water to support game fish.
