We fish early and as the boat traffic picks up I try to find a cove somewhere that isn't taken and let the kids swim. The craziness on the water is frustrating but I can deal with that a whole lot easier than the craziness at the ramp. We put in at Holleman's most of the time and it is the craziness at the ramp that makes me hesitate going at all. I wish Duke Energy or the WRC would add more docking space for boats. The line of people waiting the use the ramp is going to be long most of the time but it seems it would flow faster and more smoothly if there was more than 1 or 2 spots to tie your boat off while parking your truck/car.


I avoid Holleman's most of the time. But, the single, easiest thing they could do would be to add a boarding dock like they have on the south end. It works good when people use it as intended. Not everone does, and I have waited to launch because a boat is blocking the ramp while some old Chesterfield smoking geezer makes his way down to the boat.
