Re: Why is Clear Lake measured in Rumsey?
interesting article .
for me , I have an interest to know if Clear Lake will be OK to launch this coming fall (late October or early Nov ) .
If yes , what are the best places to launch with these low water levels ? I heard some guys ruined some lower units last year .

I have two pontoon boats , if you put any "motor" on them , you need to register and obtain a CF # .
If you use only oars /flippers , no need for registration .
