Does anyone know if the ice is opening up on Davis Lake, It should be getting close. There is a article in the Bee about all the trout that will be planted in Davis Lake, 33,000 pounds of Eagle Lake trout has all ready been planted, 3000 trophy-sized trout will be planted for the restocking celebration May 16-17, 660,000 trout by June, and 1 million by the end of the year. WOW :shock:

No Carl, even though it seems like this has been going on forever, this is only the states second try - hopefully they nailed it this time.

It does look like there will be a new fee charged effective May 23rd to park your rig and launch your boat at any of the lakes boat ramps. The fee will be $10.00 for parking and use of the ramp. They've even initated a fee for motorcycles and bikes of $1.00 as a day use fee and parking in the boat ramp lots. Fortunately there will be an annual day-use pass avalible for $30.00 which will be good at both Lake Davis and Frechman's. The fee's only apply to the boat ramp lots...Cow CRK, Freedman, Jenkins, etc are still no charge.

Hopefully they'll get the west side road sealed this year - it's long over due.

The lake is still pretty much iced over according to friends in this area but it shouldn't be too long before it breaks up.

Why are there so many lakes in this part of the country that charge PARKING/USAGE FEES? This is so friggin ridiculous! It used to be there was ONE FEE, called a FISHING LICENSE that allowed you to fish anywhere! :mad:

I agree...the fee's seem to be getting out of hand but it seems to boil down to the same old thing.........money for up keep.

The ramp / pier at Davis, Honker, is sorely in need of repair & up dating -hopefully this fee will make that possible.
