    Is it safe and thief free to launch at the wildlife area below where Art's use to be? A few problems years back

    Fished HR until it dried up a few years back. Is it coming back now?

    I normally put in at Flat Swamp and have no problems. The only thing at flat swamp is some idiots come in at night and do donuts in the gravel and its almost like off roading sometimes just driving to the ramp. I have been to the wildlife and buddle creek multiple times with no problems. The bad thing about the wildlife is it just gets crowded on the weekends due to bass tournaments. I have also notice that the sheriff does stop in often to check things out so I think you will be safe where ever you go. Besides nothing will keep a true thief out no matter where you are.

    Only thing I hate about flat swamp is that I don't think I can get my pontoon under the bridge to get to the main lake. Looks like it is too low. Have not officially tried, but looks iffy. Matt have you tried with that skiff? It is probably about as high in the water as my pontoon.

    It just depends on how low the water is. When its low i can troll right underneath it no problem but when the lake is just a little low I have to put it in neutral and grab the bridge and push up to make my boat go a little deeper in the water so the rail on the center console want hit lol got to do what you got to do to get to the fish. But when I had my pontoon I was never able to make it under>

    If you go past flat swamp, there is another landing on down off number 8 a few miles isn't there? How is it and can I get to the main lake from it. The ramp at flat swamp is also so steep that I cannot load my pontoon all the way because the trolling motor hits. I have to leave it about 5 inches back and hit my brakes hard to slid it forward once I get on the road. That is a pain.

    Yes the wildlife on hwy 8 you can access the whole lake from there you just cant go back to Buddle creek because the low train trusses there. The ramp is not steep at all its just like most other ramps.

    Flat creek swamp has it's own boating access and so does buddle creek.

    Go to savehighrocklake.org and it will tell you the bridge clearances at all the places y'all are talking about. It will also tell you the lake level and the depth at end of ramps at all landings. That may help you plan your trip.
