norfork structure
Wanting to sink some brush tops etc at norfork this spring and needing some help.
First is it legal? Had a old timer say that the corp does not allow it.
Second where works best points, ledges, flats, and how deep would you sink them. i know it is very low right now, but under ideal circumstances how deep would you want them below the surface.
Thanks

Don't ask don't tell.:D
Easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission sometimes.;)
Bad weather and/or after dark is best time.:rolleyes:

The Corps of Eng has a office in Mountain, Why don't you give them a call.
Also I know Blackburns has a map that shows spots they have put bush.
You might call them to find out how deep and the rules.
I would find out the rules, I would hate to lose a boat and gear plus pay a fine just because I broke a federal law.
I found it strange that in some of the information I found states that they have added bush but they used twine to hole it together.
They may have a rule against wire?
From reading the rules, I sure you are not allowed to cut trees, brush, etc around the lake.

I had a guy I worked with that sinks cedar trees every year. He goes to the office in Mountain Home and gets a permit that allows them to sink 6 (I think) trees per permit. I have never done it, be from what he has told me there may be a limited number of permits they allow. As far as being able to go out and do them on your own, I don't know.

I don't know about Norfork, but a lot of people sink trees, cedars, brush, etc. in Greers Ferry, and I never knew any of them to get a permit.

If you want to fish off stuff you sink this spring, you need to sink it now, don't wait. I think ''sometimes'' it takes longer for the fish to come to pvc, than wood....just saying.
