NPFL will be there soon as well.
I find it amazing that no one knows for sure how far down the Diablo ramp goes. I know cameras existed when it was built.... Grout or Boomer yall know? I do not. My buddy has owned property out there since the lake was impounded and he can’t remember how far it goes. Don't remember where I read or heard it but supposedly Diablo East ramp goes all the way to the channel. We may get to find out if its true or not.

You would think there would be a little more transparency from the powers that be but welcome to the world as we know it......
I will say though that this Historic Low coming is uncharted territory You are absolutely correct on this..All i know is from two guys that the ramp goes far out but may get steeper. It's already a killer...lol Heart Attack Hill is gonna get worse and worse if that's even possible.... Gonna compete with Pecos High Bridge  A golf cart and charge $5 a pop to bring them up. Can make a killing Used to be a cart not too long ago for those that remember....probably time again

Park Service won't allow the cart anylonger due to safety concerns and charging for a ride or even the volunteer funds. Unfortunately in Mexico you can do what you please ie drive all over, make roads, launch where you want, etc. Only mussels survive in Tx not across the border. It's a shame..

I thought Diablo closed last year when it got this low. The only place to launch was in the Devil's.

We were fishing the lake in 1969(Permian Bass Club) and the Diablo East ramp was usable. The original ramp at Rough Canyon went to the river channel. I am not sure about the ramp that is being used now. The Lake Walk dam had a section blown out on the East side but even in 1969 you could get thru just fine. I don’t remember if you could launch off the old 277 Hwy in San Pedro or not.
Oh yeah I am a old
I fish on the edge and stay out of the middle
