Hey OBG,

I spend a lot of time on the water in my area and I would say that most of the stuff I find comes from the shore. What I find in the spring of the year is parts of (sometimes whole) docks that are damaged/displaced by ice movement. In popular ice fishing areas wooden blocking is used to support the ice fishing huts above the lake slush, this blocking usually becomes frozen in the ice and is often abandoned to float around the lake in the spring.

We have had a huge amount of rain this spring so the water is high (especially in dam controlled lakes) and there is an abundance of floaters in the waterways, making for lots of hazards.
