    Default Holly bush for cover


    Anybody ever sank holly bushes for cover? We put out a bunch yesterday in some coves in 8-13" of water for the spring bite. They really looked good.

    went to one of my spots last nite and found out that the state had cut sweetgum trees off the riprap and tossed a few in the water! have to check during the day to see if anymore are floating! don't think sweetgum should be used with all the notches and stuff on the limbs!
    GET IN, SIT DOWN, HOLD ON, AND BE VEWY VEWY QUITE!!!!!

    I know this is an older thread but I wonder how that Holly turned out for you? I just pruned a big Holly Tree and have a bunch near a lake.
