Matt and Lesley, Here are a few highlights --My 10 yr old son was thrilled to catch two smallmouth just north down your lakeshore; one was 20". The waterskiing was unexpectedly good so skiing was on flat water. We did have a great family vacation and thanks for the opportunity to use your place. Thanks,Dan
