    Does anyone know?

    I am heading to Ky. Lake. a buddy told me that he thought you needed to carry flares on the boat there. I can't find anything on line, any locals know?

    Thanks!

    Even if it was illegal you’ll never get checked. You never see a game warden until you get to Tennessee. I’ve lived on and fished Kentucky a lot the last 20 years and have never been checked by a KY game warden.

    Thanks. I appreciate it. Hate to spend the money if they are not required. They expire way too fast.

    I must look like a criminal. I’ve been checked 3 times already this year. No flares are not required as already stated. But make sure your fire extinguisher is still charged and that you have a throwable.

    Yes sir they will look at your gauge on that fire extinguisher also.
