Green River Lake Tree Cutting
FROM THE COE GREEN RIVER LAKE FACEBOOK PAGE:
We have gotten reports from Fish and Wildlife that there are several hinge cuttings of fairly large trees around the shoreline of the lake. We are assuming that people are doing this for fish attractors. This practice is ILLEGAL! Cutting of any tree on government property without permission is illegal. If you know of anyone doing this please let the Corps of Engineers office know.
Removing trees from the shorline can cause huge erosion problems, not to mention it just makes ...for an unattractive shoreline. We here at Green River Lake are blessed to have such a beautiful lake and we'd like to keep it that way. There are much better ways to put fish attractors in the lake, besides cutting down trees ILLEAGALLY from the shoreline.
If you or someone you know is interested in putting fish attractors into the lake all you have to do is contact KY Dept of Fish and Wildlife Fisheries Biologist Eric Cummins at 270-746-7129 or by email [email protected]. The permit is free and easy to acquire, no one should be putting attractors into the lake without permission!
