Here's the combo for access:

You got to love the Internet!

I do like this rule. I wish the state would copy it!

8. No wake enhancement devices of any kind are allowed on the lake. Boats with wake enhancement devices must have them disabled according to LOC approved guidelines by an LOC certified boat mechanic prior to being licensed. Owners of these boats must also sign an agreement not to use wake enhancement devices on the lake.

What's the dress code/theme for this bass tourney? 80's neon/acid washed or polo shirts (collar up) and ascots?

Any extra points awarded for "99%" safety flags?

FYI-  I'm that guy that honks and/or yells "double turds" anytime I see someone on the tee in their backswing while driving by a country club. 👿

I think we all need wear radar reflector hats, for safety's sake.

I'm thinking NASCAR flags and mullets would be good required dress.

I did a little reading and it seems the regulations for Lake Oswego are a bit confusing. Of course, most of my reading about this has been based on comments on the Oregonian website article by obviously pro-Lake Oswego folk so take that with a grain of salt. Anyway, it seems the idea that Lake Oswego should be open to all boats is based on it being a navigable waterway.  Given that residents have power boats on the lake, you would think that would be the case.  However, "navigable waterway" as described by the state has a historical reference point to it such that if the waterway was navigable when Oregon became a state it is considered a navigable waterway.  However, Lake Oswego wasn't created until after statehood and supposedly is exempt from being public in that way.

When in doubt, go to the source to increase the confusion:

Sufficient evidence exists that the following lakes are also navigable:

Sucker lake (Oswego) to pre-dam level 405 acres.

I am not sure what this means in terms of access. Are you allowed in the middle of the lake? 

Mark Hatfield got the lake designated as non-navigable when he was either Governor or Senator.  Yes, he did have property on the lake....

How about if i wear a beer can hardhat? I will just strip off the label till the can is just silver. So what do think?

It's that time of year again. How about Thursday 11-15 at NA? Let's support Next Adventure, drink some free beer and heckle Rawkfish for his love of Ram mounts...

So we seemed to have fallen out of the swing of getting these going.  I'd like to get one going for the third Thursday of this month.  Next week would be cool but I believe the PDX Boat Show is then and I wouldn't want to draw away from that.  Any suggestions for a location?  I must admit that I miss having them at the Pietro's Pizza even though the beer wasn't that great.  There was always plenty of room and it seemed fairly easy to get to with plenty of parking.  Family friendly was also a plus.

The boat show is this week, so I think the 17th would work.

I'm game, I miss having the old "meet ups".  I'm always a sucker for a slice of  Pietros thin crust pie.     Lack of craft beer aside it does have the plus of having enough space to spread out and  take over as many tables as we want and chat without getting in other diners or staffs way. Plus its lack of PDX hipness saves having to worry if will be to crowded due to being D&D game night or whatever.

Cool, I'm game for the 17th.

sounds good to me. Please post the location of where your going to meet. There is more than one in the area I'm sure.  DH

... crowded due to being D&D game night or whatever.

Um, where is this mythical pizza joint with beer and D&D?  Inquiring minds wanna know!!!
