Yeah!! The Sun's out!!   Had another bunch of fisherman sitting right on top of the pickle factory in/out points. >  So I hit the propane dealer area again.

I got to play with my new lift bag and set a small statue on top of the pinicle.  I wish I could have done it on scuba, but no partners.  I had to dive on it around ten times before I could get the bag to deflate enough to unhook it.  I finally had to hold the valve body and pull the cord, otherwise all the dump line would do is try pulling the bag inside out.

Looks like the fishermen are hitting the trout hard.  After setting the statue, I returned with food and had a group of around 10 trout.  That's down quite a bit from the schools of 40-50 or more.  A couple of small gills took up residence near the statue, and one of the carp swam thru.  The trout were gorging themselves on the food so much that they would puke some up and go for more.  Only animals that are starving do that.  Maybe the DNR should hear about that.

Vis has dropped to 15-20 ft, and the thermocline seems to be around 3-4 ft down all over.  There is a ton of cottonwood fluff on the water, and the lot by the pickle factory looked like a couple of inches of snow had fallen.

Watch out by the boats! :o  FISHLINE! :o

I removed 3 lines from each of the boats. (Can barely see the boats from the surface)

I also stopped by lakes Huron and Emily.  Looks like the rain has them clouded up too.
