Long Lake last Sunday

[Swimjim]

Like most inland lakes, the viz in summer is pretty poor.  Long lake see a lot of boating activity during the summer, which adds another wrinkle.  It is best dove in fall and spring.  I have seen viz as much as forty to fifty feet at times. Twenty to thirty is more typical. 
    For the most part the lake has a mud and sand bottom.  Depths of about forty feet can be attained.  I understand that theres an old creekbed mid lake.  Get there on the right day and you see lots of fish.  If you dive off of Long Lake rec area, prepare to hike up and down a fairly good size hill.  There are fish cribs just off the park on the north end in about fifteen feet of water.
    Dundee is one of those places thats close to nowhere.  Part of it's appeal imho.  I usually take Hwy 57 north and pick up hwy W,just before the little town of Waldo.  W goes strait west and runs into Hwy F.  Hwy F west will get you to Long Lake Rec area and finally Dundee.  Dive safe!
