Are the lakes clearer this year?

[merkman]

I was out to my favorite lake this weekend and I was amazed at how clear it was. I think this later freeze up is going to be good as long as the wind holds off before the ice sets in.

How do your lakes look?

Are lakes generally clearer this year?

I think that has do mainly with the not so windy conditions. I would almost bet that if we had three days of continuous 20+mph winds out of the NW like it should be this time of year it will definitely get murkier. Hopefully it stays calm and we will get a good hard freeze to lock it all up so it stays clear for some good pike pokin this year!

you might be right, less wind makes the lakes less dirty. Need ice now before its getting horrible outside

This late rain doesn't help anything, run off can dirty up the water faster than wind

this is true! we just need ice and we can be done with it

Until there is good ice I would rather have rain than snow though!!!

Of course I would rather have no rain, no snow, and no wind, for 2 good weeks of -0 weather. Then it could warm up just a bit.

For now I will enjoy the smaller heating bills!!!
