If it’s not Ugly, it’s not habitat. The Ugly Tree Fork is a patent-pending artificial fish habitat structure designed for ponds and lakes. Developed by lake management experts, it mimics natural underwater cover such as brush and timber but lasts significantly longer.

Once installed, the Ugly Tree Fork quickly becomes covered in algae, creating an ideal environment for forage fish such as bluegill and crappie, which in turn attract larger gamefish like bass. By adding these structures, pond and lake owners can dramatically increase both the quantity and quality of fish in their waters.

The Ugly Tree Fork is modular, meaning it can be used to build full “trees,” smaller “bushes,” or arranged into clusters and forests depending on habitat needs. With proven science showing that lakes thrive when at least 25% of their bottom area is structured habitat, this product offers a reliable way to bring fisheries back to life.
