Skipper. 
Did they draw Blackie down?  I read somewhere that it was coming down for the winter.

3 feet makes a huge difference in this lake. 

Due to needed dam & boat launch repairs; the level of the lake will be drawn down 3 feet starting August 23, 2010 until at least November 2010. At this time the beach will be closed to swimming and the boat launches will be closed.
Bring on the ice!!!!!!!  <br />

I just got my new pro TC yesterday. Sold the Guide to a buddy. I hope i can bring myself to put the screws in the U channel that holds the canvas to the sled before we get ice! I cringe at the thought of putting screws through the cover!
