Thanks guys. This is a big undertaking but it is super exciting to know what we can have a few years from now! The lake is pretty much a blank slate allowing me to decide where the fish will be if I do my job right. Looking at the topo you can see I have a lot of good things going for me - its not just a square flat hole. Lots of work ahead and I will do my best to share everything here for all input and future insight.

And as for the Zen moment, being on the water is second only to sunrise in a treestand for me.
