Hey Good Dr, Thinking back I remembered some conversations about this lake. After doing a search I ran across this posted on another site....

http://www.fishsniffer.com/dbacher/070302hennessey.html

"Boating Regulations: The daily boat launching fee is $4.00 per watercraft. Outboard motors of 10 horsepower maximum are allowed. Sailboats, catamarans and rubber rafts, with a minimum of 8 feet in length and a maximum of 18 feet, are allowed. Windsurfers, sailboats without cockpits, water skis, kayaks and other "similar crafts" are not permitted on Hennessey at any time. No swimming, wading, or water contact sports are allowed. Boats shall be allowed on the lake one hour before sunrise and shall be removed from the lake by one hour after sunset of each day."


Maybe/Hopefully things have changed since that was posted. If so maybe we will join you...

yeah its a no contact lake, almost got ticketed there awile back in the pontoon boat. cameron

Well I contacted City of Napa and they said it is ok to fish by kayak. No contact to the water is what they said and must launch from the ramp. $5 or 25 yr. Definitely think I will hit this now since someone mentioned that there are some big crappie and bass in there.

I would have joined you rain or shine but just got mandated to work tomorrow. Good luck out there.

Great research Dr, I think there was mention on this site before but just wanted to be sure no one got in trouble. Now, let's see about joining you? What day are you thinking?

I'm open for any day Saturday morning might be nice if interested or Sunday. Not sure if my boy is going in the rain this time. Let's make it happen.
thanks

Still not 100% sure I am going. Got the dry suit packed and ready to go. Saturday is my only chance....maybe. DrH...I am sending you a pm, Allen

Looking like I will head out on Sunday morning. Feel free to join in in interested.

I have fished there before from my kayak. I launched from one of the many easy places to put in and I got a warning to only use the ramp ot ticky next time...   The guy stopped and warned me while I was loading back up. They are ok with using a yak, but it must be launched at the ramp. Why, I have no idea?  I guess they want every buck they can get out of you.
