Shut Dooowwwn!

Attachment 138676Been getting shut down in more ways than one lately. This is what I found at School Creek park at Milford Lake. Not to worry still was able to find my way to the water. Am sure most of you already know of this since we are all fishermen here just surprises me in general to see things like this when I go to the lake. Just curious if it is being consistant throughout the state. What are people seeing out there that fish other lakes that have allot of COE ground on them? I know this is a nationwide thing but is everything being shut down everywhere in the same way? Are your boat ramps accessable?

I got out and checked Wilson and Kanop, same thing as your post. Technically, it's not theirs, it's "We the Peoples", bought and paid for with more than tax dollars. I could go on a rant, but, I'd just be preaching to the choir. It's Our country, not any legislators or gov't office. It's time to step up to the plate.

Had the option of fishing Melvern or Coffey County Wednesday. Didn't want to have to drive clear to Eisenhower so I chose Coffey County. I live 2 blocks from Flint Hills NWR and it is all shut down as well.

Went to Marion this last Wednesday and one of the campgrounds and boat ramps were closed, but the rest were open. Not sure why only one was closed but I was glad the rest were open.

Clinton Lake State Parks and ramps are open but Bloomington may be closed since it is a COE location. Truman ramps and campgrounds are closed so you have to use some of the old country road ramps if you know where they are at, and parking is very limited at those so get there early.
What could happen to you if you moved the barricade and drove into a closed ramp? Are they being patrolled and by who?

They put up barriers at Old Town, on Perry, on Wednesday. But, they were gone yesterday. Go figure.

Law Enforcement is considered essential and still working although not getting paid. Around here they will set IR trail cameras up on the barricades.

Maybe they are now somewhere at old town as bottom structure, for more fish habitat. So is it open for use or not?

what the fail to relize is what who else it hurts. talked to the marina and melvern this weekend. with the camp ground closed beside them and the boat ramp they are lossing a lot of business. So even if they are working what do they do and the boatramps daily except collect our money?

Since Im a renegade anyway, I am using corps ramps whenever needed. Mr. Government, you sold me a product (yearly pass). At the time of purchase you gave me no warning that you could recind that pass for any reason, so unless your intent is to repay me for lost time then I will hold you to the contract. End of story

Seems you're not alone. Here's something to support your stance.

Some guys got pinched at Redmond. Became irate and wouldn't give the COE LE their IDs so Coffey COunty was contacted. The guys got a warning and told them they would hide their vehicles next time. They were advised criminal trespass would be issued if it happened again.

It would not stand up in court and they know it. All of the corp ramps at perry are open, they just pulled the docks out. If you go to Perry Marina and use the ramp the docks are still in, why didn't they pull that one? Just maybe they didn't want a lawsuit from a business that is right on that ramp. They were losing 76 million dollars a day in fees across the US, they may have wanted a shutdown but they didn't want to lose this revenue. The States have Federal money in reserve to keep these parks open across the state if they want to use the funds or if they havn't raided it and spent all the money..

Never underestimate the radical left.

It is both the right and left. They need to set down and solve the problems and leave politics at home. Come up with a solution that helps the country for change not their particular ideological stance or party.

Any one know of any corps ramps open at Milford, how about Farnum creek.

The ramps at the Truman state parks are open. No ramps mistakenly closed by the administration there. Truman is about one foot over pool. Barely a trickle running out of the dam.
