Fishiding design archive

Custom hand-drawn completed client habitat designs.

These Fishiding plans show how habitat can be shaped around a pond or lake’s depth, shoreline, access, fish, and the way people use the water.

The variables that matter

Every drawing starts with the water in front of you.

Fishiding considers bottom and slope, water depth and inflow, shade, fishing from shore or boat, swimming areas, docks, desired fish, stocking plans, and when installation will happen. The result is a layout designed around your goals and schedule.

Cover

A practical rule of thumb is to begin with habitat and cover across at least 20% of the water surface.

Variety

Trees, brush, rock, plants, and artificial cover can work together to create different depths, spaces, and surfaces.

Protection

Dense shallow cover gives smaller fish places to hide, feed, and grow before moving into deeper water.
