This time of year particularly there are a lot of floater/floating logs in the boat lanes, you have to keep a eye peeled looking for them as some of them just barely clear the surface of the water, a little wind action will render these floaters unseen. The lake is a little low due to the lack of rain as well so some objects that normally would not be a issue, are now becoming a issue. Trail #1 between the 89 bridge and Greens Lake is a cut trail, it was cut along time ago, back when the lake was on a partial draw down, when the lake is at normal pool this trail is still full of stumps, some less than 2' below the surface, so in trail #1 THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO NAVIGATE THIS TRAIL, 1 way is to run all out and stay above the stumps (NEVER shut down or try to take off on this trail) 2nd way is to idle the trail ( not my recommend option, as ppl who know this trail know it has stumps in it and would rather get a ticket for passing to close, as they would rather not chunk out a few grand for a new lower unit and prop). Just a little information that may help a few ppl. I was on nearly every boat trail last weekend in my Bass boat, I never had any problems. I rarely ever use option 2.

was also on gold creek yesterday and saw the short fish go in cooler.
