    Re: Crossing state lines on the water???

    Unless there is a reciprical agreement between the states involved to recognize either license in the area you are stopped...you better have the right license and your creel better be within the limits of the state you are stopped.

    I believe that the game warden would have to witness you fishing in the Tenn. waters to issue you a citation. Otherwise you are just a boater in transit to the next stop. You would not be "fishing" in Tenn. However this could be a sticky situation for you if the warden is a jerk. I would call Fish and Wildlife if I were you just to be on the safe side.

    Anglers may use either a Kentucky or Tennessee license while fishing in the Wolf River arm of the reservoir. This includes the Illwill Creek embayment beginning at a line crossing the Wolf River at its mouth where it joins the Obey River and the main part of the lake.

    Re: Crossing state lines on the water???

    I talked to Richard of Eastport Marina last night and he told me the Corps called
    him to tell him that they were getting ready to drop the lake 4 more feet and
    to move his docks. It was really low 4 weeks ago when I was down there.
