Pineview Access and Crappie Question?

[dubob]

Bob, even that may largely go away. Didn't I hear that they now plan to chain the gates at both Port Ramp and Cemetery? To cut down on vandalism, they say, but that's just another way of saying cut costs and increase profits. If true, the only access will be walk-in at a few limited points. Essentially, it will be closed to the public from Autumn until Spring.

I talked with the Federal manager of Pineview last winter about the closure of Cemetery Point (CP).  Reason given was vandalism of the CP pit toilet door and using the pit toilet building as a garbage dump.  He also said they had received a new gate system to be installed at the Port Ramp, so you may be correct about the only place to access the ice this winter will be at the walk in points.
