The Weekend After Labor Day
September 8th through 11th   
Flat.  The lake was very unrough all weekend.  As the weekend progressed, it became more and more clear that last weekend was not the best time to pull and winterize the ski boat.
Are there any fish under the 75℉ water?  Yes.
Golfballs were also found/retrieved from the very clear water.  On Friday the water temperature was 72℉.  By Sunday it rose to 76℉, but there were pockets of less than 70℉ water shimmering in random blobs along the north shore.  It would seem the springs are active.  And cold.
Lots of fish.  The ones we saw were mostly panfish with just a smattering of bass.
On Saturday evening, the almost full moon rose over the eastern shore and its reflection slow-danced on the water.  If snippets of time and location could be bottled and sold to be enjoyed at a later date, this evening would be a best seller. 
The Nicolet Counrty Club course is in the best shape of the year.  The only issue is the deeryness of some of the fairways.
New roof!  Less bumpy, more metally. Old Leaves!  It's becomming easy to find color in the woods.  Peak should be about 3 weeks away.

Pity me, a sad and tragic figure, for our boat was out and the water was flat. All weekend.  Oh cruel fate, to be thusly boned.  Ask not for whom the bone bones, it bones for thee (if your boat has been retired for the year and you were on the lake this weekend).  WOE!  We need rain too.  On the plus side, the water is still warm(ish) and there are plenty of fish.
