I know Twin is a different group, but, at least some info out. Thanks for posting the link to Channel 8. I agree that if boat is inspected not sure why it cant be used. They can put some restrictions on type of boat but to not allow doesn't make sense to me either. And it still doesn't address whether or not an inspection from current year or past year and current proof of purchasing the sticker is good. As I have said before, some folks aren't within 100 miles of an inspection station so what then?
It is a start but hopefully the canal company will put out a little more information so we all can understand what will be done. But, at least we can fish
.
Update: Just talked with Consolidated on what they put out on a news release last night. No matter where you come from to use the reservoirs, if you don't have a current inspection sticker or proof of current, this year inspection, you will have to go to Franklin to get the inspection done and then you are good to go. They also said that most likely on May 15, when the check station at Glendale opens, then similar restrictions to last year, no ballast type boats will be allowed, but others will be ok. So I guess Franklin station will be pretty busy this spring.
I was also told, but this is from Consolidated, that the Twin Lakes canal company is going to keep their reservoirs CLOSED totally. Now whether or not that means until check stations open or for the year, they could not say. I have an email to them to find out and will post up when I get an answer.
