I was down a week ago today, it was not open yet, but we looked it over and had launched before at similar lake level it would have been usable then It should be fine by now. Just be careful when heading out to main channel there are a few islands and shallow spots .
I’m sure it’s getting use, hopefully someone will report soon.

Anybody have pics or updates on how close bullfrog main is? The posted information, I don’t think accounts for recent work on the ramp, curious if anyone has any up to date info? Someone has to be down there this weekend?
Thanks in advance

Main ramp is still a ways off. And the leveling of the coffer dam below the ramp is pretty meh in my opinion. It’s still a giant hump essentially. Spur ramp was fine and easy today and yesterday.
 
Yesterday's Sentinel image does not disappoint. However, I'm pulling back from just concentrating on the South marinas and going for a bigger view of the changing Lake levels. If you did zero in on the marinas, clearly the parking lots are getting full and more boats are being put in from Dry Storage. However, the marinas have not yet changed their configuration. Noticeably, the water after Rock is much grayer than even in the May 22nd image. That would indicate lots of debris coming to Last Chance if it's not already there.

From May 2nd to May 27th, contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data from 2023 and is processed by Sentinel Hub.

conditions from yesterday from North end --
Halls -- good to go and launch any size -- no tires and no dock
Bullfrog Spur -- good to go -- no hazards -- launch of 25foot boat no problem --- it does have a courtesy dock
Bullfrog main --- still looks like 15 to 20 feet needed -- they did grade the coffer damn BUT they did not grade is flat -- it still has a sizable hump in the grade --- in time the ramp will be wet, but you will still not be able to make it over the hump -- my guess is the hump is 4 feet higher than the end of the ramp --- it also goes all the way across the ramp.
Bullfrog North -- no issues -- was not even that crowded at 9am yesterday --- lots of debris around all of the ramps

Has anyone launched at Halls? Bullfrog adds another hour each way for us.

Been launching at Halls Crossing for a couple days now. There has been no dock, but I spoke with an Aramark employee yesterday who said a dock would be installed today. Note: Although the gas pumps were operational yesterday, the little convenience store at Halls is NOT open and the marina store is very inconsistent. Bring with you everything you need.

Gas pumps at Hall's? Where are they located? In the cove? Is the pump out also operating?

Thanks for posting. Halls campground busy? Were you fishing? North or south?

Neither campground is busy. The RV park has one occupant and the primitive campground has four maybe five. Been fishing as far south as Escalante and as far north as Crystal Springs. Same - same...pretty spotty for SMB, LMB and walleye. Nonexistant for stripers; for us at least.
