Looks like our warmer than usual early November weather has come to an end. EC showing a chance of rain every day for the next 7 days, and a chance of flurries each night starting on Wednesday. Pretty normal for this time of year. This is when boating becomes really difficult with frozen ropes, frozen steering cables, and a frozen water pump in the engine. I never did find a good way to make it easier.
It looks like a critter of some sort has knocked webcam view #4 out of alignment. Odd that it is still pointed correctly but is now rotated 30 degrees or so.
Attended the information session on the amalgamation of the conservation authorities on November 5th. The bottom line is that the CA merger becomes official February 1, 2027, and very little will change right away. The target is to have the process 100% complete within two years. I guess there are a lot of unanswered questions as Friday I received a Survey Monkey on scheduling a rebuttal meeting to be held by some of the existing CAs.
A reminder that the fall Cottage Life Show is coming up November 13-15.
Dump is on winter hours through April 2027. 11AM to 4:30PM, Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday and holiday Mondays.
Outdoor burning is now allowed during the day. Day time burning is allowed through April 1st.

The fishing seasons and regulations for this area (zone 15) remained the same in 2026 as in recent years. They are on pages 104-114 of the 2026 regulations book. Bass started on June 27 and ends November 30. Trout started January 1 and ended September 30 with the slot size of 16 to 21 inches to be returned to the lake. It is a one-line lake for ice fishing. Trout will most likely open once again on January 1, 2027 for ice fishing. I will keep an eye out for the 2027 regulations. They are usually posted in early December.
