Gvine Closing

Buddy of mine is out there right now, he says Katies Woods Ramp is Closed. Dove is open right now but they told him it will be Closed tomorrow. I believe those are the deepest ramps out there.

Just a heads up!

Wow we need rain!

Row boat

I knew it was getting low out there but dang

Why dove? There is still plenty of water there... I thought anyway!

Kinda what I was thinking. I know it's flat but figured it went out quite a ways more.

I was gonna get out there sunday....looks like no

I haven't had any problems with Katies Woods and I'm out there 3-4 times a week. I knew this was coming soon though with people posting signs at the ramp to launch at your own risk. I hope we get some rain soon and ALOT of it.

Well this sucks. Finally had a weekend off to go fishing and now the closest lake is closed. Anyone fishing RR on Sunday need a partner let me know.

so where are there any ramps to launch GV without KW and DL?

I think last time lake got this low, Silver Lake Marina was only ramp open. Never used it, heard its really steep.

Just find ya a bank and get your 4wd ready. LOl

The weather is gonna try to help the next few days, lets hope its at least a few inches.

I haven't been to Silver Lake ramp in a few months but last time I was there the ramp was in really bad shape. They had construction barricades blocking half of it. Maybe it's fixed by now.

Last time when the lake was this low I remember them charging a ridiculous fee to launch there. They were the only ramp open.

I just launched my deep v 19' long with no problems. Plenty of water.

I've seen a couple of boats launch out of silver lake a couple weeks back and even then that ramp was pretty rough.

Silver lake ramp is in Bad shape and that's making it sound good! U can launch from dove now with no problems! If the lake lost another ft it would still be good! I'll try and contact ACOE in the morning to try an get further details!

Dove Loop ramp worked just fine today, but the city parks and rec guy said the corp of engineers is gonna keep pulling more water off and make the ramp unusable. As long as you don't back 30ft into the water it's fine.

Any reason why they're pulling water with the lake as low as it is?

Ppl want green grass!

Justin... So the parks and rec guy said they are for sure closing dove?

Yes, parks guy said he was gonna close it tomorrow. He also said they are pulling water off grapevine because they are working on lake lewisville's damn. I'm not sure why they need to pull water off Gvine to work on lewisville.

They have been talking about working on about 10 dams around the area the past few yrs! Never actually seen one being worked on! Hmmmmmm I guess we'll see or pray for rain, Job 5:10! Like 10 inches this weekend! And the looks of tonight storm... We ain't getting any like normal! AWESOME!!

Well. . .some of them they work on from the inside. . .just sayin.

From the inside huh?!?! I'm not real bright... Lots of ppl know this so please explain!

Were they biting? What is fishing report?

They weren't biting, should of went crappie fishing.....

Sucked for me too. I graphed fish stacked up deep and caught 2 real quick at the end of the day and then they disappeared. Lost a 4lber off the dam too. All my bites were light and the fish did not put up a fight!

What was water temps?

60-62

Just got off the phone with Parks and Rec and they said KW is in fact closed! They are dropping water to "work on the dam"! But
Dove Loop
McPhersons
Lake view north and south
Oak grove soccer fields
Sandbass Point

All remain open for at least now! Silverlake is a private ramp so need to contact the marina for their ramp but again IMO is in rough shape! All other ramps are closed on the south side of the lake!

Thanks for the update and fishing reports

A lot of these ramps get closed after someone damages their trailer and complains to the controlling authority. The last time I was at Katie's Woods some backed a double axle pontoon boat off the end of the ramp. The smart thing would have been to take the boat off for an easy pull out, but they kicked in the 4wd on their 3/4 ton truck and yanked one of the axles out of the trailer. Grapevine just spent money to extend the dock out further at Katie's Woods. I could have used that ramp for a while yet.

I think the Tradwick ramp might still be open.
