I received the latest water quality report yesterday. Here's a snapshot at the dam. Note that the water can vary in different parts of the late but the data shows similar numbers for all the tested areas. Oxygen levels are fantastic down to 40ish feet then drop like a rock after that. The temps are mid eighties to lower 40s then start to fall off. I see a small possible ban of water at 45 or so that may be cool enough and have enough oxygen for survival. Otherwise, oxygen levels are in the 0-1.4 range below the 40s.
The data points are taken in key main lake areas. The creeks may be a little different and may be better. May, I don't know. The down side with creeks is they get the farm run off. That means the water contains crop pesticide or treatment run offs. Those things affect the water quality and were partly responsible for some bait die off a few weeks ago.
That's the picture as it is today.. Or at least on the 18th.
