Department Lakes with Fish Attractors




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




KDFWR regularly creates and maintains fish attractors and habitat structures in lakes throughout Kentucky. This list is a partial one and represents a small proportion of the total number of fish attractors KDFWR has placed. Fish attractors come in a wide variety of styles depending on the available materials and goals.

The main types of fish attractors are:





Weighted Brush Piles


Local brush gathered and weighted with concrete blocks




Christmas Trees


Recycled Christmas trees weighted with concrete blocks




Stake Beds


Arrays of vertical stakes grouped together in shallow water




Hinge Cuts


Shoreline trees cut partway through with their tops in the water




Log Piles


Larger tree trunks and branches weighted with concrete blocks




Pallet Stacks


Stacked arrangements of wooden pallets wired together and weighted




Plastic Structures


Various structures constructed of PVC pipe or plastic pallets


The following list of links will take you to a Google Maps page showing the fish attractors for that lake. Clicking on the icon for each attractor will give you information on the location, type, latitude and longitude.
