Thanks for the info everyone. I just did a few samples yesterday, PH 7.8, DO 7ppm, water temps 26 at surface 22 at 2 feet under. The water mixes warm and cold all over the lake - hard to stay in a warm spot for long.

I put a go pro under the water in a clump of old vegetation that is now submerged and it is full of sunfish, I was worried that the wee sunfish i put in about an inch long would be dead but they are all over the place intermingled with the ones up to about 4 inches. The full grown sunfish travel the whole lake.

We have now put about 3000 minnows in the lake about half and half dace and FHM along with about 100 mud minnows, I wasnt seeing any of them in the big area until yesterday - the whole shoreline all around the lake is alive with new tiny minnows - seems that they have been busy....

One thing I notice in the underwater cam is the amount of plankton is crazy, giant waves of it in the water column.

I've just set up my solar aerator system to keep the ice from forming this winter in one end....ill post pics.

Cheers
