I walked out on my pier to take a few casts Sunday about two and the water was so clear I could see the bottom past the end of my pier and that is about five feet deep. I lost a screwdriver when putting in the pier this year. I could see it on the bottom and retrieved it with a magnet. That is how clear it was.
I don't know if it is the alum treatment or what but it is beautiful. Later in the year I know it will cloud but for now it is the picture of a gin clear lake.
