This law refers to barrels, etc. that used to be placed by noodlers. They were made illegal quite a few years ago, much to the chagrin of my old noodler buddy.

Right at the time that I bought 100 plastic drums!

When placing your wood in the lake don't use bailing wire. It will rust in to within a year and be lost. I use telephone wire since it is copper and doesn't rust. Any hardware store will have this wire and being copper it's easy to tie. And yes it's legal to place wood in a corp lake. Only thing they frown on is cutting wood on their shoreline.......Ranger
