Well put and I know all about what they do to try to help improve the lake. I've met a few talkactive individuals that filled me in on all they have done over the years which is great in terms of habitat for the lake. I was more so referring from an anglers point of view, not only to improve lake habitat, but also logically place it so it can be fished and provide for a great "hot spot." Win win situation there.
I know some are not as avid as others and you'd always have those individuals carelessly not thinking about placement and/or building/sinking the structure. Oh well, the laws will not change and like I said I was just curious on the subject and had a general idea it wasn't allowed by law. In my opinion, I think it would be awsome if they would let alot of anglers create structures (obviously getting fish commission approved) and place them various times through out the year while at the same time the fish commission too are out there sinking what ever!

the lake association has been sinking 'habitat' for years. there are tons of pallets, Christmas trees and cribs in the lake. when individuals do it, they may be done haphazardly. i cannot tell you how many times i have come upon single Christmas trees that broke free of their moorings and were ashore or just under the surface close to shore.
the lake has plenty of habitat and the fishing for bass, musky, cats and panfish continues to be good. walleyes have little natural reproduction and need to be stocked.
