So.....people who bought seasonal water got what they paid for, BUTthe fact that you bought property on a lake with other houses and boats and they want to enjoy their boats and pwc in the lake just as you do...somehow that's a problem? Give me a break. Perhaps you should have considered a lake with smore strict development and boating regulations.

Look, the bottom line is everyone has some agenda for their respective positions on the lake, but most of them appear to be related to improvement of the lake. Your argument is as full of holes as the ones you are responding to.

From spring through summer, we are at the lake almost every weekend. I don't see the traffic issues you are referring to. On holidays it is pretty crowded, but still nothing like some of the other lakes in this state. I've been fishing during the week several times in the summer and not see a single boat. I don't think any of us want to see the lake overdeveloped. But I don't believe a more consistent water level will have much of an impact. There seems to be many, many more deep water lots available right now than seasonal lots.

I think it's ridiculous the way they raise and lower the lake like they currently do. It's unsightly when the water is down even 10-12 feet. And SLISA through their work has shown how more beneficial it would be if the lake were held at a more consistent level.
