Best Barren Launch

[smashdn]

State ramp is probably the easiest as far as backing down and getting off the trailer and out of the way. Parking lot is not far from ramp and there is a courtesy dock but it is not much and you might be best not using it. And it is a no fee ramp. And like others have said is in about the middle of the lake so you can cover lots of water.

The ramps on the south end, Walnut Creek, Austin, and Brown's Ford are decent ramps, but they are lesser used and the chances of things coming up missing from your rig are increased. Out of those three Brown's Ford is probably the best bet but it is the farthest up the lake and depending upon pool level you might not have as much water to play in as you would want.

Thanks to all,
I will be at my place at Cland for a couple of weeks and plan to visit Barren a couple of times.
A long trip I will enjoy as I have had 43 radiation treatments for prostate cancer since July 15t hand haven't been able to get away. I am doing great and have been very active the whole time.
So I will be looking for those Hybrids at Barren and will check in for a little info when I get down .
Thank You,

Im glad to hear you are doin ok with the cancer. My grandfather survived both Prostate and testicular Cancer.

If you are targeting Hybrids... I really suggest The Penninsula, Baileys Point, or State Dock. If you troll along the Hogs Back there by the Dam you will find some nice Hybrids...

I am looking forward to put this info to good use.
Striperjoe or maybe it will be "Wiperjoe" Ha!

beaver creek is a pretty good ramp, got a courtesy dockif you have a corp pass its free, didn't see any fee boxes today, but wasn't looking. Walnut creek is fair, but a little walk involved, its secluded but been there and talked to several guys who say its not risky parking.
