Since this is a new pond, I won't be fishing for a couple of years. I don't know of any laws prohibiting fishing with the use of light attractants, but they wouldn't apply to a private pond anyway. I had a place on Smith Lake in AL which is a beautiful lake with deep clear water. The only lake I have ever swam in and could see me feet. I mounted a night light off of my dock just above the surface of the water. It was amazing to watch the fish in the clear water. I would catch some stripes on ocassion and it was routine for the neighbors to go from dock to dock night fishing.
