Fish Habitat

The fish in your pond need cover to hide, feed, or hunt but we know natural vegetation is sometimes difficult to control in any body of water. Pond King’s artificial fish habitat offers the benefits of submerged natural vegetation without the concern of disrupting your ecosystem. Our habitat is easy to install and requires no maintenance once it has been added to your pond. Deploy this artificial fish habitat once, and you’ll be creating your own personal Honey Hole for years to come...

Grow trophy size bass

Habitat is a key aspect of pond management for growing trophy bass that is often overlooked. Bass hold tight to cover, as they prefer to ambush their prey. Giving your bass space to ambush keeps them from having to chase their prey allowing the fish to conserve energy and gain weight more quickly. Habitat also provides cover for smaller forage fish which helps the forage population grow and develop, increasing prey density—a must-have for any serious trophy-bass fishery manager.

Increase fish population

Adding artificial fish habitat to your pond will improve your fish population health at all life stages. Whether it is giving eggs a safe place to hatch, fry a place to hide from larger prey, or larger fish a place to ambush, the fish habitat encourages an increase in individual and overall fish population and a natural addition to the food chain.

Catch more fish on your property

Unlike natural habitat, our Honey Hole habitat products will not snag your lure or make you lose tackle. All of our artificial fish habitat encourages population growth in your pond, giving you more opportunities to catch more fish. Adding our fish habitat will attract baitfish as they look for places to hide, which in turn attracts the bass who are looking for ambush opportunities. This creates the perfect situation to find the bass where they are waiting for their next meal, increasing your chances of hooking up every time you’re out on the water.

Options for all water depths


The requirement for fish habitat varies based on both the life stage of the fish and the water levels. Within our Honey Hole artificial fish habitat assortment, you'll find a selection of options designed to cater to a broad range of habitats, from shallow to deep water, ensuring adequate cover for all stages of a fish's life cycle.

Maintenance free habitat

Once the Honey Hole habitat products are in the water, they can stay there indefinitely. Our fish habitats are made with high quality materials and do not require any maintenance.

Environmentally friendly

Unlike other artificial fish habitats on the market today, we do not use PVC. PVC breaks down over time, releasing dioxin and other toxins as it degrades. Our Honey Hole habitat products are made from high- and low-density polyethylene which are biologically inert materials that have been approved by the FDA for use in the food storage industry. Honey Hole fish habitats will only add positive enhancements to your pond.

Honey Hole Grass is awesome! What a great experience! Just took it out of the box and dropped it where we wanted in our half acre pond.

I ordered a shrub from Pond King and 24 hours after putting the shrub into my pond, there were bluegill swimming and jumping around it
Chris S
★★★★★
It does not get any easier for installation than taking it out of the box and tossing it in the water. I have created several levels of habitat in my pond per Pond King’s expert advice.
