Hey I dont know if poeple know this but I found out the hard way. I went out to Calero on Sunday and when I went it was a little misty and I pulled into the ranger area and the lady told me that there was no boating access today. I asked her why and she said at all the local lakes the rule is if it is raining or sprinkling out they will not do a mussel check because your toon is wet!!!! This is BS so I thought I would throw it our there and see if you guys new about this. So any rain forget the TOON!!!

Yes we knew about it

PARK ALERT MESSAGE
For: 12/24/2008 - 12/26/2008
The policy for wet weather is that only banded boats may launch. If the boat arrives wet (even if caused by the rain) and is not banded, it may not launch. There will be no exceptions. We strongly encourage people to get their boat inspected and banded prior to wet weather.

But what if its in the car/back of the truck under cover and dry??
was yours?

It was in the back of my truck but not covered. Will it work if I would have wrapped a tarp around it?

If it's dry you can fish.

I think if its banded you can go in also

that is what I thought as well but you have to get it banded daily for toons so unless you had it banded that morning that wont work she told me!!! I am taking up Bingo!!!!

So what your saying is it coast you 9 dollars every time you launch your toon?

here is the break down $6 to get in $7 to inspect and $6 boating fee. This is what they charged me last time I was at Coyote a month ago. It is BS!!!

They now offer a annual pass for inspections. Its 35 bucks and good for a year. Great for the tubers or guys who fish other places also.

I thought if you get inspected and have the tag on your boat or toon or what ever it is you dont have to get inspected again?

toons and tubes have to get inspected every time

No it cost $18
Total BS
