My dad was down day before yesterday, and said there were a couple of boats that had launched at Farley. We'll be launching there Thursday morning.

Any report on how Farley was? Hoping to launch there in April.

I saw a report that Farley was undo able as of the 21st

Hite is apparently questionable, but we launched our 17' StarCraft(trailered) in Farley on the 22nd and retrieved on the 25th with no issues. Shore was nice and firm, but there is the occasional individual parked in the "turnaround" below the rock. We had to ask one to move when we launched, and a Jeep pulled out just before we retrieved. Water was too cold, and wind was up so we didn't have any fishing luck(couldn't even get the catfish to bite), but 4 days at the lake is still a nice way to spend your time. Dungee wanted a video of the process, but my wife and I both left our phones at camp on launch morning. Looks like warmer weather is on the way, and I'll be looking for weekends with wind under 10mph, for a second chance at walleye, crappie, and bass.

The only part I have serious questions about it getting past that rock!? It seems so narrow?

 

[John P Funk]

I’ll get dimensions of our boat trailers width. I’m pretty sure it’s the same width as the truck we tow with(02 Ford F-250). And I had a foot to spare on the rock side. If a guy got stuck, he could do a little road building and be a hero to many. Maybe even be eternalized in song.

Wouldn't be the first road we'd have built. Almost slid off the blue notch road and spent half a day piling rocks to stabilize the edge.
