As the name implies, this category is defined by structures which provide cover.  Of all the structures reported (n=159 responses), 81% were intended for use as fish attractors to increase angler catch and harvest, 39% as nursery habitat for juvenile fish, 34% as adult habitat/sanctuary, and 20% as spawning habitat.  For our purposes, we have divided cover into two classes: natural (e.g., brush piles, felling) and artificial (e.g., tires, wooden structures, plastic structures).  For more information, please select one of the following:
