I have dropped them in a pond and caught fish the next day. I have done the same thing in a lake too. if there is little structure they will be on the new trees in a matter hours or until they fin past and locate it. I would suggest to anyone that they drop the trees and start fishing them ASAP. The fish will be there

if you take propane torch and burn off the needles first you won't have the wait as some xmas tree are coated with a fire retarded now don't burn up the whole tree.

I always trim off all the green as well as the smaller limbs,i just leave the bigger limbs about 2' on each side it makes em a bunch easier to fish......i've caught fish within 2 weeks on trees like i described.

Here unless you remove needles they tend to moss over till they fall off.
