Good Luck

Are there still docks in at Bolles Harbor?might do an evening troll if wind is right this weekend and can find someone to freeze with me.thanks for any info and good luck....Bob

All the docks at both Bolles and Sterling have been pulled up out of the water. You'll have to launch and recover right off the concrete ramps.

The marker bouys have also been pulled out. Be careful leaving the channel at Bolles. Don't cut it too sharp to the right or left untill you're a ways out. The water in close is extremely shallow.

Good luck !!

I am going to try to come up to Monroe friday eve. and fish on Sat morning. Is launching from the ramp going to be a problem?

Todd

You shouldn't have a problem Todd. The ramps are out, bt I have not had any problems going in or out. Stay in the middle of the channel going to the river, and close to the piers out to the lake. Shallow is an understatement...Good luck.....signman
