Lake News You Can Use

We stopped at Porticello last night and watched the Silver Lake waves lap against the shore with a south wind screaming and rain clouds looming. You can't get much closer to a lake and be inside a building, 17 feet I think. A few days ago there was ice not waves. The DNR made two fish cribs which, according to the bartender, recently dropped through the ice in 30 feet of water which should make for some good fishing at that spot.

Speaking of lakes there is talk of demolishing the old Boelter shoe building which would open the main downtown corner to a Fowler Lake view. Additional plans are to have a larger boat dock, more parking and more green space and outdoor seating areas. There is also a plan to move the boat launch to a different location. What do you think?
