Thread: placing brush piles

I called the corp office and asked. I was told they would call me back if that was problem placing structure in the lake. I was going to use Honey Hole Trees by Pond King out of Gainesville Texas. NO one called me back so my guess is good to go.

well i guess i need to call corp office. I wonder about lakes that are corp

jdenny - the only rule/law regarding brushpiles is on page 8 of the 2014 Fishing Regulations. It states "It is unlawful to use and/or place into lakes and reservoirs of this state any container, including but not limited to drums, cans, tubs, boxes or barrels which attract, entice or lure fish into an open cavity within the container". There is no other mention of what can and cannot be placed into a resevoir in the state of Oklahoma. I would add that you would want to use common sense on the materials used for your fish habitat.

I would definitely contact them. I'm sure they are there are certain areas you can't place objects as well as certain types of material you can't place in the lake.

so i would assume that a concrete block with limbs attached would work. Could you attach them with metal wire like bailing wire or electric fence wire

I know that some municipalities do not allow any placement of anything in their systems because of algae being hard on treatment facilities. I would call and ask like Nip suggests.

As far as Corps lake you can place any type of structurethat is natural or manmade as long as it is not intended to in trap any fish.If it is a corps lake that post their brush piles on their web page then theywould like for you to give those coordinates to them so that all can share.
