Boating Obstacles

[MickinMO]

Still getting more experience boating upper Taneycomo on my own and learn something new every time I am down. Saw two stumps that gave me pause while trolling or drifting this week. One that was just above Trout Hollow near the private dock with the Yoda and then a big one just past 65 bridge out in front of the second or third dock on the north bank. That one could really do some damage and when the water was high on Thursday and Friday afternoon it is just below the water line. You can see the swirl, but most novice boaters would not pick up on that until it's too late. Also, the heavy generation on Thursday and Friday I noticed the water around monkey island had a constant roll to it like a boat wake. My guess is this phenomenon is where the faster current of the upper lake gets squeezed and meets the slower and generally deeper water of the lower lake?
