Water Temps?

[minnphatts]

I posted this question on the Metro forum, but it doesn't seem to be getting a response. What are you seeing for water temps on the lakes around you? I've only been fishing Pool 2 so far this year and it's around 60 degrees. I assume most lakes are anywhere from upper forties to upper 50's depending upon location and size?? A lot of prespawn fishing I'm guessing tomorrow?

I got out on a small lake in Eden Prairie, Mitchell Lake, and the lowest water temp I found there was 62.5º. Most of the bays were hitting 66º which was great (and the fish were incredibly aggressive!). Granted, Mitchell's average depth in the bays is around 6 feet, and the middle which was coolest is only 13'. Just something to keep in mind, but it'll give you an idea how these smaller lakes are progressing. Biggest reason I went there is cause I knew the water would be warmer.
