Pineview Friday 9/19/2025

[BSF]

Thanks much for your report and pics. I was hoping the Port ramp was still open, so that's a bummer that Anderson cove is the only ramp open. Do you think a bigger boat could be launched there? I know in years past, that ramp can be very shallow when the water gets low. Good to hear the perch are doing better this year, even if they are smallish. Since PV isn't a state park, that pass will not work there, that is why we use to wait until they stopped charging to launch at the Port ramp before we fished it in the past but once they started closing the Port ramp and started asking that outrageous fee to launch at the Anderson come, many of us stopped fishing there, bummer, but I'm glad you were able to get up there and find plenty of willing perch. Did you by chance try over on the Browning point side?

Willard Bay is $20/day to launch.
I have a great idea!
The launch fee should be based off of how much water is in the reservoir.
Ex. Pineview is normally $23/day when full.
If Pineview is only 50% full, than the daily launch fee should be $11.50.

Geez, you guys that fish Willard all the time are you paying $20 each time you fish there or do they have some kind of annual pass.

Willard Bay is a State Park, so a 365 day State Park Pass is well worth getting. I don’t remember how much it cost. And there are a bunch of bodies of water near by that you can use it at.
