Dove Laurel Lake at the dam today. The water level is up; the surface appears green right now. Surface water temp was around 50 degrees, the first thermocline around 20 feet dropped the temp to 43 degrees or so, and the coldest I registered was 39 degrees at 90 feet. With the water level where it is right now, you hit "the rail" at 75 feet. Visibility at all depths was poor: no better than 7 feet anywhere. Last April I saw vis as good as 30 feet, so I hope things are improving. Not many fish to see, although the fishermen sure were trying. Despite hoisting the dive flag, someone was casting in our area during the dive (what a surprise). When I untied the dive flag from the bottom (10 feet), someone had already hooked into it and broke their line.
