The weather this year was a bit unusual.  I think many of us felt that we missed out on summer altogether.  But the cooler, wetter summer seemed to fair well with the lake.  We required fewer weed treatments, had less algae, and the lily pads seemed to stay status quo. (you may recall our concerns last year).  If monies were to become available, there are some great options we could explore for improvements.  Overall our secchi readings (indicating clarity) were quite good.

We were not overly successful with the goose problem this year.  l will be securing the federal permit again to depredate and addle eggs, so keep watch for nesting in the spring.  And feel free to contact me with concerns.

And finally, as many of you may have heard, CLCC in conjunction with CLAPO will be trying to secure some funding to improve roads and storm water runoff.  We have areas in the lake that have an unacceptable amount of runoff; both from private and township roads.  The goal is to have both Crandon Lake groups along with the townships try to implement systems that will improve the lake quality.  We hope we will have your continued support in these efforts.

Have a great winter—Think Snow!
