[Rhodes22-list] Montana Neighbor -Flethead Lake

[Bob-Leslie Fletcher]

 Ceasar,

After two years of trailering we reached the same conclusion.  We are in the 
process of reserving a slip on Flathead Lake for next season.  The Lake 
level is dam controlled, and often not up to full pool until late June, so 
early in the season we will probably make a a few trailer trips to Pend 
Oreille, and that's also when we might get to CDA.  We'll contact you when 
we do.

When you decide to try Flathead, and if don't mind pulling a boat over a 
pass, (good road but a little steep in a couple of spots),  it's only about 
160 miles from  CDA to Big Arm State Park on Flathead.  It's right at the 
best part of the Lake for sailing and has secure tow vehicle/trailer 
parking.  Nice anchorage for overnight nearby.   Best yet, none of the 
crowds of boats we sometimes see when we drive past Lake CDA.

We'll stay in touch.

Bob Fletcher
