Rot resistance

Well two days from now i'll be out working at my grandpa's little farm pond sinking trees for the fish...I wanted some opinions on what type of tree i should sink considering they will be underwater....we have a lot of Eastern Red Cedars and quite a few honey locust. I know black locust is pretty resistant but what about honey? And from what Ive heard so is ERC....the only other trees in the area are cottonwoods and silver maples and i know that they probably aren't since their not too good for bow wood either.

Any wood lasts a long time when under water, think it has to do with the fact that fungi don't grow underwater so good,
but ya won't go wrong with ERC

If you can't get Cypress I'd use the Cedar.

If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

I'd use ERC. The multi branched trunk makes better habitat for fish. Around here it's used Christmas trees.
