Springfield lake

Is springfield ever going to get a new ramp?

I doubt it.  I don't think they want anything but canoes and yaks in there.

Dispute between government agencies on whose responsibility it is?  I would have to agree with Dutch.  I doubt it.

Even though I'm a kayaker I would like to see it rebuilt because I know of many people who have a boat setup to go on Lake Springfield and can't.

I had a feeling that this would happen. I still don’t think it will ever be replaced and they never had any intention of replacing it.

Even if they do get a ramp it is so overtaken with Kayaks makes it hard to fish if the temp is above 60.  Lots of guys are launching some light flat bottoms at the boathouse. There is a little slide there that you can get the job done if you want to put some muscle into it.   Its very shallow though

I have a kayak too and have gone with some friends with small boats but so much easier launching both when u dont have to wade in the mud

We launched a 12ft flat bottom and didnt have to get wet down there.  I just cant fish sitting down in a kayak. I got rid of my Springfield lake boat when the ramp washed out, now i just take the big boat to Bull or Table Rock.   I miss those big fish in that lake though.

I heard that a guy backed a trailer into the water and was ticketed.  I don't know if it is a fact, just what I heard.  I remember when you could launch and load a bass boat if you only used your trolling motor while on the water, but sadly those days are long gone.

Whats the horsepower limit now?  Have kind of lost track of that. I remember that Fellows used to be 40 and I think it still is.

The last I heard was 6 hp.
