Closing for winter

Rick Peterson uses a front-end loader to lift the final section of dock as John Villasrigo checks the clearance Wednesday afternoon at the Rock Creek boat ramp on Crane Prairie Reservoir. The men, both U.S. Forest Service employees, have been working on removing the docks on several of the Cascade Lakes this week in preparation for them to close for the winter. The fishing season for Crane Prairie Reservoir, Wickiup Reservoir, South Twin, Big Lava Lake and several other bodies of water in Central Oregon will be closed on Oct 31.
