Hey guys/gals...does the CollinPark MARINA have a cleaning station to clean fish? If not, is there a place somewhere on the Lake to clean fish? Problem I have is I don't have anywhere to dispose of the guts at my house. Can anyone help me out? Thanks. Thomas

None of the Lavon Ramps have cleaning stations that I am aware of. TPWD site below does not show any.

So is it legal/illegal to clean them there on the shoreline and dispose of the guts there either in the water or nearest dumpster?

to the best of my (limited) knowledge, it is illegal to put them in public dumpsters, but the water should be fine (puncture their air sacs first, so they dont float up)


somebody want to confirm this for me?




What i do, is i clean them at home, put all the guts in a ziploc, fill it with water, freeze it, then put it in my trash can on pick up day, it doesnt thaw til its at the dump, and you never have to smell it.

I never thought of freezing them...so I assume you use some really big ziploks? I brought home 3 cats today..I might try that. It's when I catch alot more that I can't handle disposing of them here. If anyone knows if it's okay to clean them there and then toss the guts back in the Lake, let me know. I def want to be legal and leave the Lake better than I found it. I know the guts would be eaten by other organisms in the Lake, but if it's not legal, I won't do it.
