The Weekend Before Labor Day

August 24th through 27th, 2012

Lake Lucerne
Lake Lucerne was calm Saturday morning. A southerly wind grew as the sun climbed higher. By noon, the lake was great for tubing and extreme sailing but skiing and footing, not so much.

We got some rain last week. Hurricane Isaac it was not. We need much more rain.

We did get some rain on Sunday but it was more like a heavy dew.

The creek bed was bone dry by Monday.

I am dreading the September 1st lake level check. My guess is that it's currently about 4 inches below the start of August. Booo. While I'd personally like a warm wet Fall, at this point I'll take a cold wet one. Even a little rain during the Knott Lane golf outing on Sunday (09/02 at NCC, tee times starting at 1:03 PM, still plenty of slots available, email Mrs Nemo (meg@knottlane.com)) would be welcome. While diving cribs on the north end of the lake, larger panfish were harder to find but the lake is teeming with free swimming fry. Thousands swarm under rafts, in weeds and around cribs. There were some big, well fed looking bass too.
