gone fishing, I am pretty sure that this is a gray area here in Indiana. If you talk to the DNR, they claim if you let the property manager of the lake know, and mark it on a map, you can do it. Some of them say it is okay, others won't let you. I just know that at Patoka they told us at the spring meeting that nothing can be added to the lake.

I have done so at Monroe, along with many others. One time I even had a Conservation Officer climb in my boat and even asked why I had bailing wire, buckets and other items.

I did not lie, I told him and he didn't say a word. So, who knows. You are correct, they do have a lie detector, and they ask if you broke any laws or rules, but if you did it before you knew of the ban, then what would be your answer?

I know most states encourage and definitely don't make a huge issue to put in habitat. I think things like Old tires would be littering no matter where you are. But PVC pipe is not a potentially hazard to the water, so I don't see what the beef with it is.

have a great day and good luck!
