Water and conditions

Our water temperature readings average 62°F; they do not cover the whole year, so this is not a yearly average. These readings span 2019. The latest reading is from 2019, more than three years ago: read these numbers as history, not as the water today.

What is hard here

Wind is the limit, not the fish: 14,338 acres of open water build a short steep chop, and there is no shelter in the middle.
