This was in my email.

Hi Heather

Sorry to bother on a Monday morning but Fuller Hill boat launch needs your immediate help to correct a problem. What I thought was a job well done, when someone cleaned the mud/sand off the launch was not such a good job.

I don’t ever launch there but the bottom part of both ramps never got cleaned completely. This has caused problems with 2 wheel drive vehicles getting stuck and when trying to get “un stuck” caused big ruts. In a few cases other rigs have had to pull them up the ramp, until they could go on their own.

Its not a good way to start a fishing day, both for the stuck person BUT also for others that are trying to launch their boats…..

It needs to get done….right now that launch is used about 15 hours a day, out of towners, guides, and local people just can’t believe the job never got done correctly, in the 1st place. Shame on me for not doing a follow up to see if the job was done RIGHT……grrrrrrr

John’s River, 28th Street, Hoquiam River, small launch just above 101 bridge, Cosie, Monty launch and of course Fuller Hill are used LOTS, I understand that they aren’t all WDFW launches but WDFW is the lead agency and needs to take the lead in making sure who ever should be taking care of the ramps are getting the job done. October 1 the Wynoochee and Satsop will be getting lots of use…..are they ready????? I know for certain White Bridge, is a full 2 year from having anything done.

Money, money, money but people need to have safe launches.



Oh forgot about Friend’s Launch

Well, they did get more from license fees and it is the fee-payers who want to use the launches.
