Comment from a duck hunter on water level

Brian -
Today a longtime acquaintance of mine who had just been hunting on the "Lautz bay" hunting preserve and dammed-up private estuary established back in the dark ages of history.... shared some interesting information......He told me the water level is "just absolutely perfect, nobody can get on land without standing on private property, so no person can get to cover to hunt."

It seems the flood last year removed all the cattails in water and the balance of the vegetation is on walking supportable marsh base. So in my estimation this is likely to be the case over the whole lake in the marsh areas....... I asked, "Why not agree with the lake district to maintain the level where it is?"

He said they should!

Then expanded somewhat in that the summer is fine as well since the Lilies are so heavy in the summer nobody can get really close with a boat to fish or get ashore and upset the nesting activities.
