Dwight Administrator Lunker Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 5,739 Likes: 36 Minnesota	The clarity and temperatures (other than the bottom temp) are heading upward. DO is dropping in correlation with the water temperatures rising. After the readings we taken, we had 2.1 inches of rain in a thunderstorm. That will churn things up in the clarity department for a few days. Even weekly observations are just a snapshot of a single moment in a dynamic pond environment.

I would have thought that with summer plankton it would not do that. Each summer the clarity will go up and then back down as the blooms occur. Last summer clarity hit 120 inches around this time.

I fished for a while while I was out there and the LMB seem to like the changes. Last week I couldn't buy a decent fish. Yesterday I caught eight LMB; two 20 inch and six in the 14-15 inch range. Perhaps they were Blinded by the Light last week. Life is Good on Bremer Pond!
