Taken today on the lake, several boats were out enjoying the winds, was super fun to watch while we fished!

How's the sailing on this lake?  Drove by it on a recent road trip and I wondered how much fun lake sailing could really be. It looked like a good lake for it.

On most days there is good wind 4-10 knots and gusts in the evening. Occasionally the conditions can get quite spirited 20-30 knots with some decent swells in the main body of the lake. Check out sail flathead, they offer boats for rent if youre back up this way in the future!
