Fisherman troll along Lake Lanier near Sardis Creek Park on Wednesday evening. Years after setting a dock permits limit of 10,000 on Lake Lanier, the Army Corps of Engineers is about to hit that number. The corps has about 25 left it is handing out on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Lake Lanier dwellers wanting a boat dock permit but who have put off seeking one might want to put that task atop their to-do list.
