It's the second time that ramp -- once a premier launch site -- has lost ground to private development." |

"Baker launches his boat several times a week there and buys a $175 season pass to avoid the $10 daily fee. He's rethinking that for next year because the ramp is now so narrow and awkward it's difficult to use. On a crowded day during spring walleye season, it will be impossible, he said." Maybe the fees weren't cover the cost to upkeep the boat launch. Could it really be that simple? |
