Department Lakes with Fish Attractors

 

KDFWR regularly creates and maintains fish attractors and habitat structures in lakes throughout Kentucky.  This list is a partial one and represents a small proportion of the total number of fish attractors KDFWR has placed.  Fish attractors come in a wide variety of styles depending on the available materials and goals.

The main types of fish attractors are:

Weighted Brush Piles

Local brush gathered and weighted with concrete blocks

Christmas Trees

Recycled Christmas trees weighted with concrete blocks

Stake Beds

Arrays of vertical stakes grouped together in shallow water

Hinge Cuts

Shoreline trees cut partway through with their tops in the water

Log Piles

Larger tree trunks and branches weighted with concrete blocks

Pallet Stacks

Stacked arrangements of wooden pallets wired together and weighted

Plastic Structures

Various structures constructed of PVC pipe or plastic pallets

The following list of links will take you to a Google Maps page showing the fish attractors for that lake.  Clicking on the icon for each attractor will give you information on the location, type, latitude and longitude.
