I still call it "Pleasure Island" bait camp....is it gone? We have fished out of that camp for 50 yrs. I remember when Mrs. Patterson ran it yrs. ago, it fell into disrepair and Glenn took it over ten of so yrs. ago and started rebuilding the place.

Is this part of it? If so, it is all gone.

That definitely looks like it. Looks like its going to be a slow rebuild.

There isnt much left of anything there including Payco.

Dang, there's gonna be baitcamps built to code. Never thought I'd see the day.

HC,

Thats it! Dang, we sure can tell some fish stories about that place. Started fishing out of that place in the 60's, heard my first "Bob Stephenson" fishing report sitting in my dad's boat waiting for the sun to come up.

When my son's got old enough to fish, that was the first place I took them. So Sad to see it gone.

Yeah, there are alot of things that are just gone. Pictures really do not do it all justice. It is going to take a long time to get back to normal after this one.
