Europe Lake - Dewit2it - 06-25-2006
After getting weathered out at the Fleetwing on Monday, we hit Europe lake. It is a great snorkeling lake for the non-certified among us. Water temp was fine for 3mm suits and vis was around 8'. The recent rain may have gotten things stirred up. The bottom is a combination of rock and thin white silt. The silt isn't very solid and it's a thin coating over the rock bottom. The thickest encountered was 4" deep. Saw a few bluegill, a school of bass fingerlings, and the shadow of what looked to be a bass in the 2' range, or large walleye. The rocks that weren't disturbed were covered with freshwater sponge.
We snorkeled South from the public landing and back in a big loop. Max depth we hit was 6' but most was around 2-3'. We did see a couple of millfoil sprouts which we removed. No zebra mussles yet. (try to keep it that way)

Finally got a bottom pic. It's pretty much like this all over, at least from what we saw.
