    Default Hillsdale Ramp Access


    Has anyone been out to Hillsdale on the the Scotts Creek arm and or the Crappie Cove side of campgrounds? I know Marysville and Hillsdale Point, and I assume Antioch ramps are under water. I am curious if anyone knows if you can still get in at that ramp in the campgrounds? Wife and I are thinking about going out this weekend and trying to figure if it is actually worth dragging boat out along with camper. Only one vehicle and thus two trips. Thanks

    Yesterday a friend that normally launches from that ramp didn't think he could launch there without having to back his truck too far into the water. He launched from Jayhawker Ramp.

    Was he able to get on any fish once he got in? We have not been able to summons a bite there with all this up and down weather pattern. Thought about just fishing for catfish from bank and just say the heck with messing with boat.

    Just a few short and far between bite trying to dip the flooded willows. Couldn't get anything going trying deeper water.

    I was there today. Here's a pic of the Crites ramp near crappie cove. I couldn't back my boat in there. The main Jayhawk ramp is open and usable. I fished a creek from a bridge by the crappie cove campground. Caught 2 white bass and one crappie with minnows. I don't know what the maryville ramp looks like.

    I brought heavy jigs and stuff to fish the outlet (it was supposed to be running 1000), but the flow was a trickle. Maybe it'll be flowing big tomorrow?

    Wow, I had underestimated the lake level by what looks like maybe 3 feet or more!! Hopefully they will be able to let some of that out spillway soon. Should be some good fishing there when they do...if the release rate isn't too high
