Water and conditions
Water clarity runs 1.4–3.1 feet on our readings, averaging 2.2 feet, from 85 readings. Our water temperature readings average 79°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. The coldest single reading we hold is 61°F and the warmest is 91°F; the warmest monthly average is 87°F. pH averages 7.1. These readings span 2016–2025.
What is hard here
Summer water sits at 87°F: heat and afternoon lightning are the real risks, not the fishing.
