Fish Taxi,

You are correct, you do need permission on COE reservoirs to build habitat. At some reservoirs, the KDWP fisheries biologist oversees the habitat permit application process. The process and requirements can vary from lake to lake so it is always best to check first.

Most City and County lakes also require permission for anglers to install habitat, all of my lakes do.

Private waters you can do as you wish.

So in short, check with the entity that owns/operates the water you want to drop habitat in. It may save you a lot of headaches in the long run. The 2011 Fishing Regulations Summary contains the phone numbers of all fisheries biologists in the state.
