Ash although it can potentially enter a lake naturally isn't good for the ecosystem. Ash and partially burnt wood can easily be considered waste and depositing waste products into water is illegal, that is why it is illegal to put egg shells in the water and they do less damage then ash.
Leaving wood pieces also leaves floating debris that boaters hit in the spring/summer.
All it takes to do things properly is to take a base for your fire and then dispose of your ash/wood once done.

Yeah ok. Give it up. You're argument is that dumping crude oil and what is essentially ash and charcoal ( which is a natural filter) is the same thing. Funny how our lakes have survived multiple forest burn cycles. You might consider it waste and that's fine but I consider it part of the natural environment. Far as your floating debris argument goes. Hahaha for real? Open your eyes and guide your craft accordingly. If you're driving a boat that can be taken out by driftwood you deserve to sink
