link or help

does anybody have a link to the regulations here in TN on sinking fish structure or any other info? thanks

We use the military policy that they gave us since they dont use it any more.

Dont ask, dont tell. :) No seriously, I have never asked. May regret it someday

I have looked through regulations before but I have never seen this addressed. I know some states require permits and have to know the coordinances of sunk structure. I don't think Tenn. requires anything but I would check with the TWRA to be sure. I know lots of people have sunk bamboo, PVC, trees, ect and have never been questioned as far as I know.

I'd check with your local DNR on that to be sure. But if that is who you are trying to disprove a regulation with, I'd check with a different DNR agent from the same state, but working for a different county. Now if the water in question is a Core of Engineers waterway, then a web search should get you your answer pretty easy. FYI - Some CoE waters don't allow any structure placement, and some will have depth and location restrictions. But on the good side, some DNR agents will actually welcome some assistance in placing "approved" structures on any state waters. Best to not assume anything and to keep a friendly and cooperative approach with the DNR. They really can be quite helpful, and may even turn you on to structure coords they've already placed. With all of that said, things have been known to fall off of boats with weights attached to them at night pretty much everywhere as far as I can tell!

I had just got in from Grizzly Jig last night and was exhausted, and forgot to add this. Todd St.John with TWRA can give you answers, or at least he will direct you to someone that can. He can be reached out of the Nashville office. You may have to just leave him a voice mail, but he will get back with you.Hes a great guy, and loves helping with the fisheries.

I guess you need a permit on corp lake's. here's a link to the info!
