    IDNR clarification

    Per IDNR you're still able to tow the boat to lakes that have launches still in service. Still, be mindful of social distancing.

    I've heard that Kinkaid, Devils, and Grassy are all opened up, but that was just forum chatter and not from anyone who actually fished there.

    I saw a guy post that Egypt is open. Might have to give one of them a shot soon.

    Had a good trip, to Egypt. The marina's were closed for business, but the boat ramps were open to launch from. Awfully busy for a Wednesday, but everyone seemed to be giving each other space and social distancing as instructed.

    I heard only the one ramp (Johnson Creek) is open and it is all the way at the west end of the lake, and that is all no wake.

    Kincaid Lake only has the Johnson Creek ramp open per my discussion with Conservation Police officer yesterday. It was under renovation or being renovated because it is silted in and very shallow. It is also a very long idle to get to main lake.

    I’m surprised the marina ramp is not open.
