There is a floater in Mckaskey Creek as well. I snapped a picture, and Nat Facker saved the GPS coordinates in his sonar. I was unable to see what color line was there, or even if there was any line attached, but it did look somewhat fresh. Also, between there and the mouth, there is another one that appears to be floating, but it is still at the shoreline. I didn't see any line attached to it, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. It is parallel to the shore, and some of the exposed limbs appeared to be covered in mud, as if they had been underwater for a bit.

I'm going out Tuesday. I'll check that one and tie it if I can find the floater I'll see what I can do with it also.

The coordinates for the floater in Mckaskey Creek are N 34 11 07 2 W 84 42 48 0 IT looks to me as some of the limbs are tangeld in another tree that was felled next to it The second tree that bassboy1 mentioned was in Stamp Creek and I think it is the one soretoe towed back to shore

I didn't tow any back to shore. There are several trees in Stamps that were shredded part way up the trunk and dropped next to the water. Those were from storm damage.
I will be out there tues and get to the loose ones in McKaskey
Thanks for the GPS cord. it will save time.

Undoubtedly we do have some of the cut trees floating loose. It is yet to be fully determined if they broke loose or were cut loose. I would also like to point out that due to the storms around March 15th there are many more trees floating this year than normal, that have come down on their own. I appreciate everyones help in this matter, as it really does concern me. While it has always been anticipated that we may have a few trees come loose from the attachment to the shore it was hoped that by that time the tree would be waterlogged and remain in place. It does appear that the majority of the trees that are floating are ones that have come down into the lake naturally.

The second tree that bassboy1 mentioned was in Stamp Creek Well, my sense of direction was lost today. Well, either that, or the memory involved with that sense of direction.

The floating tree in question was cut. It is now re tied to the bank. Someone must have drug it over to the bank before I got there. But we retied it.

Just a thought here... (and not saying this is being done) but could some of the trees be falling victim to other recreational users, such as boaters that like to tie or anchor there boats in some of the places that trees have been cut. Just like us fishermen, alot of people only like certain areas of the lake. I certainly hate to see things like this happening because you guys are only trying to make a positive impact on the fish environment and a more enjoyable one for future generations. Then again, it might just be due to the rapid rise in water levels, but sure does seem strange that this many of them are coming loose. Again, just a thought and making no accusations on any group of lake users or individuals.
