Don, Its a small lake,, as many up here are, not Big Lake, as my town is called, but a one mile around lake, I can canoe around its perimeter in less than an hour. The whole thing is bigger, and its only 15 feet deep at the middle, so I cant tell if thats changed until it gets warm enough to swim in. The vegetation at the sping fed end has Bloomed, and is much thicker than in years past. I think it may mean warmer spring water? My end is the windward side, and it looks about the same, but the dock is half sunk. Need to build a new one. Later, c thanks for the buffalo links,,heehee
