Reminds me of the Tiger Woods story from years ago, Phoenix Open I think?? His ball was behind a giant rock and He had a bunch of people from the gallery pick it up and move it Because it was considered a “loose impediment”
Lots of discussion then. Don’t know what PGA did about it since then?
Innovative
See also “The Gordian Knot”
It has happened again since then so I don't think any rule has been changed. Because it wasn't Tiger it didn't get mentioned like when he did it.

It all depends if there is an actual rule against it or not for that tournamnt or circuit. The FLW Tour now has a rule against it. Bassmaster Opens do not. From my experience, anglers want to cry foul if someone puts in a lot more effort to win than they do for just simply showing up. Read a quote one time that sort of fits:
Everyone wants to be a lion until it comes down to doing lion stuff.

if it opens the water to every other boat then I don't see a problem then everyone can access the same waters

battery sawzall and tree trimming blade for the win. easy to store and works great. That would be my suggestion as well! Works great in a deer stand and doesn't make any noise to scare away the game.

There's a rule against that now. The guy was David Dudley. He pushes the envelope. In another tournament, he went and jacked a ton of bed fish the last day of practice because he knew he had a late draw on day one. Didn't want the early guys to catch those fish. I've muddied up areas for the same reason. It's all a game plan. No different than finding some deep fish and sitting on it all day in practice to keep people from finding it The saying "We are all friends till they start calling boat numbers" should actually read.. "We are all friends till I pay my entry and the week of practice days prior" LOL

I guess another question would be is if it Corp property. If I am not mistaken, on a Corp lake, you can't cut nothing. I may be wrong and I am sure I will be corrected. I just know my buddy had to get special approval to cut 2 trees down in his cove on Lake Fork. His neighbor cut 2 down the year before and paid a $500 fine for each tree even though one was half broken and leaning.

Lake Fork isn't Corps property. Your buddy may have been in a HOA, or Sabine River Authority got on to him.

With all the standing dead timber around Rayburn from the recent flooding, a chainsaw in the boat might not be such a bad idea. You never know when one's going to fall! Haven't seen one yet, but I heard one fall last fall, and I sure wouldn't have wanted to be under it.

Never makes sense to me to make outworking the next guy a rule violation. Agree!

Read a lot of rules and never seen one saying you could not.
Now I think the instance you speak of was a case where the contestants had cut that tree down before the event to block that creek and came back tourney day and cut their way in. That would be cheating in my opinion.
