From the pilots point of view I can only imagine he is required to have so much time, or so many practice landings to achieve a qualification for water landings. A this time of year he may have figured this to be the safest time, having the lake to himself, with no other traffic. He could be trying to prepare or practice for landing on the lake this summer and getting as much practice as he can by starting early. All speculation. Glad no one was injured.
