I would support some sort of public awarness campaign. I really think folks just don't realize the effect of their wakes on the structures that are exposed in times like these. It's horrible to see an old boat house that cannot be rapaired under the current regulations just take on damage during times when the River is out of its banks. Even piers that are floating peirs take on incredible stresses where they are attached to land. Perhaps some sort of advisory at launches around the lake, sort of like a red flag warning on the beach when currents and conditions warrant extra care. Maybe a painted pole with diferent colors at each boat launch. When the River gets over " pick a level " it would be idle speed only, like around marinas. I don't have an exact answer that would serve the general population. Maybe mention it in the boating regulations when applying for a boaters liscence would be a start. At least that way you know everyone that took the test should have seen it.
