Well, at least it's progress. Ya gotta start somewhere.IceInTheVeins said:I don't think they will be allowed because pontoons would be "body contact."
Amen Don. It's a precident. In fact, belly boats will probably soon be allowed at Jerry Creek reservoirs this summer.Don In Denver said:Well, at least it's progress. Ya gotta start somewhere.IceInTheVeins said:I don't think they will be allowed because pontoons would be "body contact."
I'm not happy about jerry creek reservoirs allowing belly boats. When a lot of people get the big bluegills, they kill them because they don't think anyone will believe them. And yeah, they are right, nobody believes 13" bluegill, but they are commonplace. I just wish anglers wouldn't keep the big bluegill, sadly I know most will and this allowing belly boats may increase bluegill catch :'(IceInTheVeins said:Amen Don. It's a precident.

Jerry Creek is catch and release! Not enough law enforcement in the region. You should see how out of control the poaching is.Don In Denver said:I just wish anglers wouldn't keep the big bluegill, sadly I know most will and this allowing belly boats may increase bluegill catch :'(
I sure wish these little places that have things in decent balance would be made catch & release.
Does anyone know the awnser to this? I can't think of anywhere to put in a boat but by the dam if they would put in a ramp. Thsi si the only spot big enuogh to turn around a baot and trailer. Anywhere else you would have to back up for miles to put a boat with a trailer in the water.My bf and I were wondering though, how would you take a boat there? Would you have to hike it down that mtn basically on your back or just use an inflatable raft? We saw another area that looked like it was an easier hike down to the lake but we had no idea on how to get to it, there weren't many trees there and it was mostly sand.
I think the regulation will allow cartopped boats only, but I haven't checked it out yet. And I haven't driven up yet to see where the launch area might be.hunterfishercamper said:I can't think of anywhere to put in a boat but by the dam if they would put in a ramp.
