Legal Question
I tried contacting the DNR but noone there could help. Do any of you guys/gals know if there are any rules against sinking stake beds in Indiana? I assume there is not just because it is done so often. The lake I'm wanting to use is a public lake. Thanks
I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast I then most humbly pray. When in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep. That in His mercy I be judged, BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP.

Thanks! My grandma stitched that for me. Its hanging on my wall right next to "A fishermen is a jerk at one end of the line waiting for a jerk at the other." Not sure what she was implying about that..lol. I'm still hoping I didn't build that stake bed for nothing.

Hank,
That is a question I have been wanting an answer for myself for quite a while. I know of quite a few lakes that could use some type of structure in them, besides a weedline. I am waiting to hear back from the DNR myself on this one. I'll let you know if I find anything out or not.

Stake beds
Permanent structures, including fish attractors, placed in public freshwater lakes or other public waters require a permit from the DNR. Doing so without the permit would be considered an illegal activity and would subject you to criminal prosecution should you be caught.

sinking structure
Yes that is right......You need a DNR permit. There is a way around that though guys. We are all in the same neck of the woods. Here is the plan........We form a fishing club and submit a proposal to the DNR for fish attractors as habitat enhancement be sunk at lakes in our range. If they are marked on a map and placed in the bait shop I am positive the proposal would go through.
By the way......I know a christmas tree farmer that is set to cut and destroy 5 acres of 6-10 foot trees.

My question is, how much does a permit cost? And I am sure there are lots of stipulations involved also. I think it is pretty sad when you want to do something to help improve the environment, but you have to pay the state just to do so. Don't get me wrong, I am a 100% supporter of the DNR, but I would like to see where all the money goes from licenses, permits, etc. etc. They always have to get their share.
