Nolin Bass Jumps 16 July

when i lived at red rock we,the neighborhood,wanted to put in a small ramp so we did not have to go to moutiedier,when we inquired about we was told we could apply for the permit,put it in according to corp instructions,they told us there was no such thing as a 'private' ramp per say,if we put it in any one could use it,even though we had to maintain it.was like 98-99 don't know how they do it now.we did not because we didn't want all the traffic and garbage,they since put one back in the creek.

My thoughts exactly never heard of a private ramp on Nolin. Once you get past the red line all is Corps. property. Like Conalaway ramp it's not maintained by the corp. Like Wax and others yet the have a donation box set up on the honor system as the residents there maintain it. Was wondering how it could be private when it's the Govt.s property?

I believe you guys are correct, as far as I know, there are no truly "private" ramps....however, it would probably piss me off a bit if I had a subdivision ramp that I had "paid" for and helped to maintain and outsiders used them all the time. The couple of ones like this that I know in Dog Creek are usually pretty well respected by non-residents. I use one that I'm not a resident of a few times a year because a couple of my fishin partners live in there and I pick them up. Were it not for that, I would probably ask permission from someone before launching...not that I would be "required" to, just seems like the decent thing to do (along with not abusing the privelage if granted. $0.02
