Fork and boat lanes and wind question - 06/11/19 11:30 PM
I have a question about Fork and the boat lanes. First off, this will only be my 2nd time on the lake. We rented a cabin on the water and all I plan on doing is fishing right close to the place and just easing around to the few surrounding coves and not getting crazy. I've heard too many horror stories about this lake and the designated boat lanes. I do have the lanes on my Lakemaster maps though I hear they're not 100% spot on. My question - due to the wind direction I'm expecting, I might want to ease directly across the portion of the lake I'll be on to reach the other side of the banks for a little wind protection. So this will be a perpendicular move to the boat lanes. Just idle the entire way? The distance will be about 1.5 miles. Also, what is a 15mph South wind like on this lake?
