We have had some rain this year. And at this point we are above the curve and our best rain months to fill the lake are Feb., Mar., and April. So start your rain dances as we have snow in the mountains and hope that it will be enough to stop and early draw down for fish. And I know that we do not use snow melt to fill the lake but we could end up with a early draw down like last year to replace the lost of upper lakes waters for the salmon migration.
Moorage: Get your moorage request filled out. As last year it is all on line. You will find the link HERE. They are due by the 20th of March – file early and avoid the rush. There are several items that you will need to be aware of:
1) You will need your password to log in
2) Step 1 is a google map of the club with the moorage location of all the slips (this is being update, and may or may not have 100% of the holders but this is a work in progress.
3) Step 2 is the most important form “KEEP MOORAGE THE SAME” this form is use by all who wish to keep their current moorage or to change their moorage. Fill this form and to keep all the same then select the YES radio button. OR Fill this form and to change one or more moorage selection or to drop a moorage then use the information line to tell me what you would like to do with your moorage.
4) The last form is for new moorage or new boat ownership select the “REQUEST FOR NEW MOORAGE” and fill out the form completely with all the pertinent information.
But if you did not pay for your wet moorage but only for storage last year you will see that your moorage spot will be row J. If this is the case you will need to complete a moorage request “KEEP MOORAGE THE SAME” and select the no radio button then “REQUEST TO CHANGE MOORAGE” to change moorage and you will be added to the list of new moorage for this year
If you are a new member requesting moorage you will need to fill out a moorage request “REQUEST FOR NEW MOORAGE”
As last year, this year we will have EYC stickers for all watercraft that do not need an OR number. So if you do not have OR numbers on your watercraft (paddleboards, Kayaks, and/or canoes) then you will need to contact me and get an moorage sticker. It will be an EYC burgee with a number in the center it will need to be affix to the watercraft on the bow on top or on the starboard side at the bow. If a watercraft does not have a moorage sticker and the Port Captain finds said watercraft he will lock it up and then you will need to deal with ME to retrieve your board, boat, or whatever. And remember that I may not be at the club when you would like to use your watercraft and if on a motorcycle trip it maybe a day or more before I get back.
Please use the request for new moorage form for an EYC sticker
You may wish to check your traps and covers. I know that my top cover had pealed off when I check it at the end of January. And it was on the lee-side of the boat. So check your covers and do not be depressed this spring when you go to launch your boat and it look like it had sunk on shore and the mosquitoes have turn it into their privet nursery, or the mold is so thick that you need to fill out an EPA form for destruction of a habitat.
