Did you get out?

Saturday, a picture-perfect, mid-June day for fun in and around the lake. I'll admit I was pretty happy to spend it lounging on the "not-yet-finished-deck" over at our place before going in to work for the night shift.

On Poinsett, sailboats and fishing boats dotted the eight acres of water. I heard the top total for five fish caught was over 18# and the largest was over 7#.

Speaking of water, the controversy over water levels in Poinsett was on the cover of the Watertown Public Opinion's weekend edition. My question is: why (and who authorized) are the gates now open letting water flow OUT of the lake into the Sioux River?
