No Wake

2006 the Lake was very high. My recollection (always suspect) is that the regs were stated such that the 150 foot rule from shore was extended to ?500' making larger areas a NWZ. I may have the details a little off, but 2006 was the year as I just reviewed my photos from then

You are correct. Not many people obeyed the temporary rule though. I did.

Me too. My perception is that people couldn't judge 150 feet; they didn't do better with 500 feet.

I thank you all for responding. I had a reason for asking and based on everyone's responses.....I think my answer is 1998.

Nice that there are so many helpful people out there. Thanks again.

I still have the markers on my chartplotter where Alton bay becomes more than 1000 feet wide.
