I am on the Waupaca Chain of Lakes on, Long Lake, which is a little over 100 acres. In the past 5 or 6 years, since enhanced wake activities started, our shoreline has significantly eroded.

"It's just that these lakes are too small to use these technologies on." Plunkett gathered hundreds of names for a petition opposing wake surfing on the Waupaca Chain O' Lakes.

With 15,000 lakes and 42,000 miles of rivers and streams to choose, anticipation is growing for Saturday's opener. (WLUK) It's a busy time inside The Minnow Bucket & Archery Shop near Waupaca.
