Article: Access angers anglers of Big Cedar Lake

Beneath a ceiling of blue smoke at the Anglers Inn, a small knot of fishermen take their shore breakfast of cigarettes, coffee and doughnuts.

Today's topic: Big Cedar Lake and public access to it or, more precisely, the lack thereof.

"It's such a beautiful lake," Bernie Gosh, 64, of Milwaukee says between drags at the combination bait shop and makeshift coffee shop across from Timmerman Field. "And you don't have to drive all day to get there. But who the hell wants to get up at 3 in the morning just to beat a few other guys out there to get a parking space?" And that is the essence of the current debate.
