A handful of Lake Monsters who stayed local for the holiday came out to L1 last Sunday. While we lucked out with a 68.8F lake temp, we did have to contend with some 2 foot swells. While this normally wouldn’t have been problematic, it made lake entry and egress a bit of a challenge due to the high water levels. But once we got in and away from the shore, it was a pretty straightforward swim!
