I actually have several friends who have had lampreys attach to them! We did do some research and learned that it is rare and that the lamprey population is down, but it is totally possible to have one attach. Twist and pull, according to a friend! Here she is with one she pulled off.

And we had a few hours of a tailwind that was so strong that we did have 4-5ft waves. We were really lucky it was coming from behind or else we would have had a few swamped boats. It only lasted about 2 hours and then calmed back down. It was fun for me, scary for my team. But, overall, we totally lucked out on weather. Not sure it could have been any better.

Such a beautiful lake!
