This is just north of the State Park on a calm summer day

Did you see em? @ 1:14 there are smallmouth bass, decently sized. You can tell em by the black tail.

Lake is cleaner now than it has been in the last 100 years, aquatic life that hasn't been there for many decades is now returning.

Nice dive. What part of Kelley's was that? North, west, etc.

Lake is very clean.

@cutter14 That's because of all the zebra mussels, they filther the water. Gobies feed on them, which is both good and bad news; unlimited food supplies for gobies.

@ETM299 This is about the cleanest the lake has been in nearly forever. That is the trade off with the zebra mussels. They cleaned up our mess and stuck to the mud bottom, preventing it from getting riled up and dirty. The problem is, they stick to nearly anything they can and drop the oxygen levels in the water.

Thanks for this! I know when i go there in 10 days I am going to be bouncing worms  and jigs off the bottom. Lot of bronzebacks down there!

[ETM299]

looks like it would be real cool if it was cleaner

Good visibility that day.. We can thank the invasion of zebra mussels for that!
