Visibility is 24”-36” most of the year. 60” plus in August/September when we have minimal rain, less than 24” right after a big rain.

No formal assessment; Over last 12 months we’ve fished it probably 20 days. Over that time, have caught roughly 250 LMB below 12”, 1 LMB 21” over 6#, 50 white crappie over 10”, 400 BG all sizes, 30 GSF, 10 CC all over 3#

All GSF and white crappie removed. All LMB BG and CC returned.

Based on feedback so far we’ll now start removing 10 CC a year, 25-50 sub 8” LMB, and continue pulling all GSF and white crappie
