Location: Richland Center, WI. | Hate to be getting this much rain but like the sound of the no wake! Any Madison Chain reports? Need to head to Madison to pick up some things for work and if the boat happens to follow along well, you know what that means...... |

That's from the 22nd, just got off the phone with a couple people from the county. They are looking into any further information, one said it was the whole lake, the other said it was the 500 ft from shore.

Location: Contrarian Island | interesting....the local tv stations say the entire lake is slow no wake.. |
|
| |
|
Location: The Yahara Chain | The press release is pretty clear. No wake within 500' of the shoreline on the entire Yahara Chain. Mendota, Monona , Waubesa and Kegonsa. No wake anywhere in Squaw Bay. I am printing it out and putting it in my boat. |

Location: The Sportsman, home, or out on the water | Love pushing the Merc to the limit on some lakes (big lakes), but the slow-no-wake is great for you musky guys fishing down there. I imagine a jet ski is no fun that slow, and pretty hard to waterski at that speed, LOL. |

| Sheriff was out checking boats today, make sure you've got your stuff straight and follow the no-wake restrictions.

| Where are the hotspots for Skis this time of year on Monona and Mendota? Anyone know how the launch is at Lottes Park? Thanks |

Location: Yahara River Chain | Not many "skis" in Mendota these days. It hasn't been stock in some time (like 10 -15 yrs). However, they do migrate up from Monona. But not in numbers worth fishing for. Stick to Monona, Waubesa, & Wingra if you are fishing for "skis".
I have no clue where Lottes Park is. Most landings should be fine for usage. I would say low water would limit launches rather than high water. |

All Madison Lakes are no wake.
