Description
Fish attractors are structures placed underwater
to mimic submerged trees, rock formations and
other features. Depending on the objective, these
structures can provide target fsh species refuge
from predation, allow them to ambush prey, or
simply protect them from unsuitable currents. Fish
attractors are installed in reservoirs and other water
bodies that are lacking structure, and research has
demonstrated they are effective in attracting fsh,
and thereby increasing angler success.
Depending on the species and size of fsh being
managed, fish attractors range from discarded
Christmas trees tied to rocks to formed concrete
spheres with holes.
