About the clear water, my water stays pretty muddy so far and I'm just wondering how the turbid water will work with the flies?
Cisco, everyone knows, or should know, that I swim against the tide most of the time and sometimes nealy drown…

... but I love turbid water – to a point.
Case in point – we constantly fight overpopulation of LMB.
LMB are sight feeders – they cannot thrive when they can’t catch enough forage. Spawning is limited in turbid water in ever changing water depths in drought ridden Texas waters.
I love to catch LMB on topwater bugs - turbid water is not a major issue for me.
Major point – feed trained species get hook shy in clear water.They will eat sinking Stubby Steve and ph pellet flies because of fish food smell attractant.
Clear water begs for massive chara invasion.
Hve fun,
George
