The following is an update by The Milk River Project:
As the Fresno Chapter of Walleyes Unlimited wraps up a major community-driven project extending the Fresno Main and Kremlin Bay Boat Ramps, we wanted to give you a look at this exciting improvement to the reservoir—and recognize the incredible local contractors, partners, and agencies that made it all happen.
This project would not have come to life without the dedication, donations, and hard work of the following:
Storm Water Construction – Pat Bibeau and crew led excavation, framing, pouring, and finishing for both ramps. They also donated and installed three concrete picnic pads and five picnic tables—so now you’ve got the perfect place to relax (and maybe critique your spouse’s boat-backing up skills
).
Pasco Ready Mix– Jared Williams delivered all concrete and pumping services, even donating a full day of equipment, concrete and labor to keep the project rolling.
Patrick Construction – Delivered and donated all the crushed rock, fabric, and riprap that helped stabilize both project sites.
HERC Rentals – Donated the use of a mini excavator, track bobcat, and attachments for construction support.
Bureau of Reclamation – Supplied rebar and steel for the ramp extensions and dock repairs. Huge thanks to Toby Tabor and Kody Peterson for stepping in with design help, permitting, and quick coordination in a very tight construction window.
Thomas Johnson – A retired welder who volunteered his time and talent to reinforce 85 feet of dock with expert craftsmanship.
And of course, a special shoutout to the Fresno Chapter of Walleyes Unlimited—whose leadership, vision, and tireless commitment made these upgrades possible for the entire community.
The Fresno Chapter also asked us to pass along a heartfelt THANK YOU to you for following this effort and to all the businesses and individuals who have supported their organization over the years. Your generosity has brought meaningful improvements to Fresno Reservoir that will be enjoyed for years to come.
