IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING!!!!! It's been a long wait for a series of good storms that could add some water to our lake and it looks like this week may be that week! The forecast shows rain off and on all week long all the way through Friday. This Wednesday our fish will arrive as planned and we still need help transferring them from the shore to their net pens. It looks like you better bring your rain gear just in case. Also bring an old pair of shoes which will surely get muddy due to the rain. Stop in the store around 10 am for a FREE car entry pass and a cup of FREE coffee or hot chocolate. Stop on the way out for a FREE ice cream, which are famous here at Collins Lake. If you haven't had one yet, you'll understand why they are famous after you have one!!

Last week there was a father & son duo that fished the lake and caught several Bass on rubber worms. He showed us some digital photos on their way out and they looked to be "keeper size". Keeper Bass here at Collins are 12" and up.

During the winter months we move the second marina (from the sand beach area) across the lake near the dam. This is primarily so we don't have to move it up and down as the lake fluctuates. We still have the main boat dock in the campground and that's where the boat rental are from now until spring time. To rent a boat you would pay for it at the store and pick up the equipment at the same time then drive down to the dock and park at the dock while you are out on the lake!

With the lake 57'' down, we are just at the end of the main boat launching ramp, but we have an alternate ramp located by the dam which is still very convenient to use. This ramp is usable by 2 wheel drive trucks and motorhomes. There is a courtesy dock at this alternate ramp. Ask for directions when you arrive at the entry station to this alternate ramp. If your motorhome is very large, we will offer free launching assistance if you would prefer.
