No wake - lake wide??

When the lake is over 505 ft (normal being 504.32), should there be an automatic no-wake zone declared? While a no-wake zone has an impact on boaters and likely reduces the visitors to the area, it may make sense. At .68 feet (8 inches) above full lake, there is signficant lake front erosion, dock and boat damage. Add wake, and it only gets worse. According to Bizer's graphic, there have been only three cases in over 20 years where 505' has been exceeded. In 98, there was a no-wake rule. We're rapidly heading to a fourth example (second in a year). Why not declare no-wake now?
