The east end of the lake is now a no-wake zone due to the danger from rising discharge tubes. The existing white buoys have been temporarily moved out past the orange marker buoys to clearly mark the no-wake area. When it is safe to do so the white buoys will again be placed in their prior position.
Speaking of the lake, any of us using our lake have noticed lately there is a lot of algae. It makes many activities unpleasant as we all know. My wife and I decided to take a walk near the Lion's shelter on Pierce lake, about fifteen miles from here. It appears the problem is not just here. I have fished from the Lion's shelter before and this year it is completely unfishable due to weeds and algae. I don't believe a boat could even go there. This is on the tollway end of the lake. The bad area extends well to the south into the body of the lake. We drove over the dam at the opposite end and I was surprised to find a bay near the dam also had a lot of thick algae. It must just be the hot weather. Pierce has a better lake current than ours with the perpetual small creek running through it and it still is in rough shape. All we can do is tough it out I guess and wait for fall to clear the water. Boone lake is almost completely covered I see as well.
Have a good Thursday counting the blessings of living in Candlewick. Ken Dillenburg
