    Rodman Kenwood ramp

    Who would pay a launch fee if the road was paved? Who would want this? Wow the dust last week. What a bitch getting it off my trolling motor, electronics, and trailer. The down sides I see would fees controlled by the state, more fishing pressure.

    Pro's?
    Con's?

    We are in a serious drought again this spring … soon to end though..
    SJ river very low and near muddy shallows bass no like… fished it 2x this week…
    Doubt in this economy if they improve the RR launch road… probably less used also
    due to the economy… so no outrage…

    That road is bad but I believe the one at headwaters is a lot worse and probably sees more traffic. I wish they’d pave both of them but I’m sure they’d rather waste our tax $ on more spraying and turning our lakes into mud holes!

    It took my lifetime for the county to pave Overstreet Road going to Lake Kissimmee ramp but they finally did it.

    Did they charge afterwards? If so, how much?

    They probably paved it because homes are going in.

    Where is "inside the bridge"? Assuming you mean SR13 Bridge? You mean going into ramp canal or out in the creek north or south of bridge? Was thinking of launching at Memorial this weekend but will probably head on down to PCD...

    The pads going to the river are fine. The pads from the bridge into trout creek have been sprayed.
