It's a rough walk down the dam face to the water level with very large boulders to hop across on the open side of the gate. I haven't been up to see if you can get around the gate, but even so it would be a fairly long walk to get to where you could launch a kayak... They have basically shutdown the reservoir with this closure. I used to hike down the dam face to access the ice, but it was a beast to pull your ice sled up and down... I think if I try it this year, it will be with a bucket and not much gear..... Which is a shame because I'd really like to have the Mega 360 up there to find the kokanee... Always been up there if you can get over the fish you can catch them, but seems like the schools only swim by once or twice a day... with the 360 I think you could chase a school and catch more fish... Livescope would probably even work better... I had really been looking forward to ice season up there this year and this change really ruins my plans.... Later J
When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
