The transfer of majority voices on lake association boards from fisherman and "lovers of the lake" to the drunken pontooner, "turn the lake into a sandbowl so we can party crowd" is incredibly sad. See it firsthand on Loon Lake in Hale, where my family has a cabin.
Savin Lake Services shows up on Tuesday or Wednesday's mid-day, so hopefully not many people see them spraying copper sulfate (algae control) out of their airboat wearing chemical suits. Should take a picture for all to see next year! Wish our association would take under consideration some basic research on the long term ecological effects of that product.
Aside from algae bloom control, Eurasian Milfoil control and other subsequent treatments have harmed native vegetation and in my opinion, and many of the other good fishermen on the lake, destroyed the excellent bass and pike fishing once found on the lake.
