Advanced voting for Council and Mayor is currently open. Voting ends Monday.
After a chilly start to the day, Friday was mostly sunny with the afternoon temperature reaching 56F. Saturday is starting out a few degrees below freezing at 28F. It is forecast to once again be sunny, and a little bit warmer this afternoon. Sunday should be similar, with about a 50/50 chance for rain on Monday. Tuesday night looks to be our first really hard freeze with Wednesday morning forecast to be a cold 18F.
The webcam at 165 South Shore is back on but needs to be re-aimed. Hope to get to that later today.

The 2026 fishing regulations are on-line.

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.
