With that said, I'd build it in sections on the...

Ice In Guess

The cold in the next couple of days will really help out, but full ice in will depend on the wind, like it always does. Likely late January for the whole lake as usual.

Dredging

You can dredge and you can also remove boulders. If the boulders are natural or man-placed (part of an old wall or cribbing) it doesn't make any difference. It requires getting several agencies...
