Members bassinjackson Posted December 31, 2015 Members Posted December 31, 2015 Planning on getting out Saturday hopefully and was wondering where to launch in the dam area. Saw that someone had said state park was where they put in, was just thinking we could all keep each other informed on where and how the area was that we put in at if we go to save others time and headaches. I will post my trip if I can trick the wife into thinking it's safe enough to go.
Champ188 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Hey bassinjackson, shouldn't be any problem at all to put in at the Scout Camp ramp off 86 near Blue Eye. That ramp is very long and should still be perfectly usable.
m&m Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 State Park ramp is open. But debris is heading towards the dam. watch out for the floating logs as some of them will be deadly to your hull. Mike
Members Golf Pro Posted December 31, 2015 Members Posted December 31, 2015 Wonder where the muddy water is to now?
Members olbasser Posted December 31, 2015 Members Posted December 31, 2015 Viney creek gate is locked again ( just love the COE lol). Water clarity is about 18 inch's and most debris is big stuff not too bad.
Members bassinjackson Posted January 1, 2016 Author Members Posted January 1, 2016 Forgive me champ but I'm not familiar with scout camp ramp. Are you referring to long creek?
Pepe Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Anyone know if the ramp is open at the Shell Knob bridge

From the junction of 13 and 86 in Blue Eye (the Blue Eye Burgers corner) you go north on 86 (toward Long Creek) about 2 miles, then turn left on 86-40 (there's a brown Corps sign for the scout camp ramp marking the turnoff). The ramp is in a little pocket at the mouth of Big Cow Creek. Donna and I launch there when we don't want some of these OAF hooligans to know we're actually fishing somewhere besides the river arms. big c, Quillback, Hughesy and 2 others 5

Champ forgot to mention that our routine is for him to put me in the water in the morning and I go get the trailer at the end of the day. The reason you can launch at this ramp in high water is because the parking lot is at the top of Mt. Everest. The ramp is the foot of the mountain. Thank goodness for the guard rails running alongside the ramp. I haul myself up them like a stair banister.
