Water Clarity: September 16, 2011

It was a beautiful clam, overcast, but chilly day on Lake Puckaway.  Temperatures have dropped to 60 degrees in the Lake and River reversing the heavy algae bloom of August.  Water clarity is slowly rebounding in the lake, but still poor, and upstream the Fox River is excellent with clarity at 8.75 feet!  For the first time the secchi disk hit bottom at the inlet, but was still clearly visible.  I would imagine the clarity there was in excess of seven feet.

Red indicates the secchi disk hit the bottom and total
water clarity depth cannot be measured.
