Water Clarity

[catch&release1966]

Heading down today, I usually  fish the Kings River arm so that is out. Thinking of putting in at Big Indian, anyone know on water conditions on Indian creek area?

 

Thanks in advance.

Main lake point 9 to the dam and Campbell Point Marina up the White to point 9 

CLEAR. 15' TO 20' plus visibility.

With water clarity like that, who needs a Livescope. A $25 Aquascope might be the ticket...

I was thinking of buying one of those, they are $100 at tackle warehouse.

Guarantee I can find a better way to fall in the lake.

OK, I posted that in jest, but  the principle works. Back when I was prone to such things, I taped some handles and a hood to a 5' stick of 6" round duct. 5' let you be secure in a seat or on your knees. The key was shutting off all external light, hence the hood. Used it to retrieve a rod once, saw some fish, it works. Then again, so do oars...

I was around  Cambpell Point yesterday and both Campbell Point and Big Indian today. Water clarity was easily 6ft or more but does have some stain to it. There was quite a bit of wind and rain so I am not sure how far visibility beyond 6ft. Water temp yesterday was 56-57 and today was 54-56.

They use them quite a bit up north.

Had to laugh, was fast forwarding through MLF earlier, and the tease for next week shows Jeff Sprague using one on smallmouth. Tune in, lol.
