Sylvan Lake opens to fishing on May 15th! Low low lake levels at Sylvan Lake will create boat launching challenges. Yesterday was a rainy day so Karen and I took a look at the two boat launching areas we regularly use at Sylvan Lake.
Sunbreakers boat launch had some improvements made but it will be tough to get a larger boat in and out! Remember that there is a boat launch/ parking fee if you are using a "trailered boat." If you are parking, there is a parking fee. Download the Hot Spot APP and go to permits to pay on line! I would put on a pair of waders and walk out to see if your craft can be launched there!
Palm Bay launch area is very very shallow. A pram, canoe, etc is launchable but you may have to wade or paddle out a bit before using a motor of any sort! The road down to lake has a lot of erosion so do take care with you vehicle and park so others can launch too.
Remember these are mandatory on the lake
Life Jackets
Throw Rope
Whistle (or noise making device)
Flashlight (that works)
Bailer
and common sense/courtesy!
We need a lot of rain!
Lastly KNOW the regulations. So many don't bother. It is your responsibility.
