Current Madison Lake conditions

[FreediveWI]

Everything looked great last Wednesday when I rode around the lakes, but by time I got to dive, yesterday, vis had dropped quite a bit.  :'(

I hit Monona first to do a little spearing. I shot one carp, but it had to almost bump into me for me to see it- vis was around 3'.

After that I picked up and moved over to Mendota. Vis was better there, about 6', but no where near the 15' it had been earlier in the week- and very little in the way of (legal) fish to shoot.

Water was 45F everywhere. Things should clean up in the next week or so. The cold snap should extend the diving season a bit longer than normal- meaning we might actually be able to see something by the start of July.
