I have a lot of wood fence. I think it is cedar. How would this work for fish cover?

I don't know, but I have some old fence too. I will be watching your post also.

Send it to me and I will give it a try. I will let you know how it works LOL. Just kiddn. A buddy of mine told me the other day that cedar was one of the best things to put in water for cover because it will last forever. This guy would probably know he was a tree trimer AX MAN for over 30 years. This guy knows everything there is to know about wood.
I say give it a try could not hurt. Better than throwing it away or burning it.

I would say yes it does... I have caught a lot of fish of sunken fences. I started builting my own fences... What I mean is when I push a bunch of stakes in the ground I put them in a group of about 5 (for a fence post) I then make other about 4 feet away a little deeper. That way they can just move up with them.
If it is a wood panel fence I would say sink it, but I would cut some sections out so that fish can go from side to side.
Good luck send us some pictures. Tight lines

Should work fine for stakebeds. Here stakebeds work best with min of 8'' spacing. We put in buckets , nail boards up right on pallets or frames,or just drive in the bottom of shallow coves.

make sure that the posts have not been treated in any way before you put them in the water. Treated wood has arsenic in it.

I Dont Know What Treated Wood Has In It But I Know We Catch The Fire Off Of Them Here In Alabama. Almost Every Pier On Almost Every Lake Here Is Built With Treated Wood. Some Of My Best Piers Have Huge Green Treated Posts Holding Up The Decking. Maybe The Chemicals Get Washed Away In The Current?

"The preservatives used to pressure-treat lumber are classified as pesticides; due to potential hazards to humans and the environment, some are being phased out. "

From wikipedia

Not saying that you can't catch fish off of treated wood, but just to be careful with what you put into the lake. That water could be someone's drinking water. With that being said, i think that they have stopped using some of the preservatives that are most harmful and persistant in water.
