Thanks Fish Doctor for pointing this out. It is illegal to cut this without a permit and I agree with the law. Large woody debris are critical for native fish habitat and certainly more important than making it easier and safer for boaters. I am so tired of us (Mankind) believing that we know better. It's selfish and BS.
