This is my first report of the year and decided to try Island for the first time this year. We arrived to the lake only to discover that the boat launch was inaccessible due to the two poles blocking the launch. Last year there was only one pole in the middle and could drive around it. I was VERY irritated that did that. It was a pain to get the boat down to the water. As for the fishing it was slow. My gf had a hit in the lily pads on a koppers frog and I caught one in the lillys with a back 7" Berkley power worm rigged texas style. She caught a 10" trout near the camp but that was it for the night. Anybody know why they want to keep boaters from fishing this lake?

I think the county doesn't want to improve the ramp to take trailers because the lake is so shallow in the ramp area. I carry my 8 foot
pram on a wood cart to get in the water. Float tubes, pontoon boats and other hand carried boats are all used on the lake. Have a good time.

yeah they just don't want boats with trailers. I have been killing the trout out of that lake the past few months btw

Isn't that little place by the launch for get togethers owned by a new set of people now? I think that parking area is only for people that are there for the get togethers too because I remember my sister saying we couldn't park over there last time we went to Island Lake for the park when I was visiting.

Yeah they have a rule for boats. No trailer boats allowed. Dumb if you ask me.

I have never heard that the parking in the lower lot is for the community center only. I have parked there during events and had no problem.
5 or 6 weeks ago someone placed cinder blocks in the water at the launch area. It looked to me like one of the homeowners may not like the public using the launch area. The cinder blocks are gone now but could be replaced , so keep you eyes open when you launch.

Thanks for the info August. It would be a shame if somebody was trying to sabotage people trying to enjoy the lake.
