Before you launch at Hecla Junction
- At Hecla Junction, have the boat fully rigged before it's your turn on the ramp.
- Back the trailer into the water at Hecla Junction only as far as needed to float the boat.
- Use the winch to load, since power loading digs holes at the toe of the ramp.
- Clean, drain and dry your boat and trailer before you leave Hecla Junction, so invasive mussels and plants don't travel to the next lake.
