Fearing a chilly summer even on inland lakes.
More ice than I ever seen before on my lil' lake at home.
Talking about a trip to Torch with family and neighbors, thought late August or even early Sept. hoping water would be tolerable by then.
Going to have to get a couple heated shower nozzles like wakeboard boats have for the bow and transoms

Cold water is cleaner clearer water....just trying to think positive. Can still boat on it just fine too. May be a higher incidence of shrinkage at the sandbars.
