Ice Out
This past Winter was particularly harsh wind-and-ice-wise, with a lot of 'winter kill' falling to the ice edge, so, when the ice goes out (a relative term), it is good to wait for a windy day to blow the shore side debris away. The first few trips of the season can be unexpectably hazzardous, even though the Lake looks clear. I am speaking from some unfortunate first hand knowledge.
