Jim Ritchie is the DNR's access expert for our local waters, be they DNR or private launches, car top or walk-on sites. DNR launches are free, yet numerous free, expensive real estate frontage DNR launches were given for zero bucks to communities only to have the communities charge for launching. Some community launches, such as Delavan's at $10.00, are expensive. Others, like Beulah's, are a long way from parking locations. Even more, such as Army, Boothe, Pickerel, Kec-Nong-Ga-Mong (Long), Dyer, Dwyer, Five, Turtle, the Genesees, Upper Nashotah, Little Cedar, Wind, Tichigan, etc. have few or no public parking places or accesses, and an ever-growing number like Lauderdale, Potter, Pleasant, Denoon, Lulu, Mendota, Monona, Delavan, Como, Nagawicka, Oconomowoc, LaBelle, Fowler, Pine, Browns, Waubeesee, Tichigan, Army, Okauchee, Denoon, Silver, 515-acre Eagle, Red Cedar, Upper & Lower Kelly, Ashippun, Racine County's Long, the Milwaukee lagoons, the Racine Quarry, and massive Geneva, do not offer fishing boat rentals. Ritchie has the DNR's tough job of attempting to handle this quagmire. Come and gain insight into the problems and solutions to launching in Southeast Wisconsin. How can we, as anglers, help this situation? How can the DNR help us?

Fishing reports, fishing equipment raffle, plus a full food menu before and during our meetings.

Carpool with angling friends and relatives. We talk FISHING. And we welcome new members. See Dan Freiherr to join
