deer river/talmoon area

Clear indication that the oxygen levels are not getting too low then.

Just read but don't know how to paste it.  From the DNR, panfish and bass first and then most other fish in the middle with bullheads the most tolerant.

the sunfish really took a hard hit. that spring when i went up  i had my underwater camera. i drilled 20 holes at least. the dead fish laying on the bottom was heart wrenching.........it was every species in the lake......including bullheads i seen laying on the bottom.

Glenn, just curious— how big is the lake and how deep is it?

[glenn57]

Not sure on acreage  but 1.2 miles at its narrowest by 1.9 miles long.  It's got 55 ft deep hole, 20-30 in the main part. But alit of 12 ft and less and those are very weedy.

[fishwidow]

Sounds similar in size to the lake I’m on, but we have two really shallow areas. There’s a 50’+ hole and a fair amount of depth in the 15-20’ range. Don’t think I’ve ever seen any real problems with winter kill. Hope you get by without a problem.

fishwidow........i went to lake finder, this is what they have,,,,

162.29 acres
3.15 miles of shoreline
94 littorial acres.......which they define as water 15 ft deep or less.

i'd say there's probably 1/3 to 1/4th of the shoreline thats bog!!!!! its been a great lake for us throughout the years we've had the cabin even though its susceptible to winterkill but with all the shallow weedy areas its good fish habitat to be able to recover.

[fishwidow]

Hope it stays healthy for ya.

i didnt notice.........and i was up there when the ice was starting to come off. i've talked t o some of the landowners also, they never mentioned anything.

[Gunner55]

We have a couple neighbors, they're both residents, that take samples of the lake water & send into a state certified lab every 2 weeks from mid May-mid October. They also take water clarity, secchi disk, readings every week that are then published in the bi-annual newsletter as well as being put on the lake association's website. I actually look at the water clarity info quite a bit as it can vary a lot. For instance, last season we went from 8.5' on 5/22 to 22' just 2 weeks later on 6/4 & then back to 11.5' by 6/22. We've been told (DNR) that the water level, the weather, & the zebra mussels all can have an affect how clear our water is.

at the last JLWA meeting the guy that usually dies that on Jessie wants to give it up, he's up there in age. this Paul the new prez said he'd do it, but if he follows thru like he did with the simple phone call he'd do to Wieztel, i wonder if it gets done. Weitzel never said one way or another is he did or didnt call. 

lafefinder shows a cheechi dish reading for our lake but not sure how often they actually do it??????

[Gunner55]

Weitzel told us that the GR DNR office has only about 1/2 the # of people now as it did when he started there. He blamed it on so many retiring & not being able to hire new people to replace them. Which he kind of hinted was due to a lack of funds because the DNR big wigs in St Paul & the state legislature keep cutting their budget.

[LPS]

Figures.  Management is usually the down fall of most businesses and organizations. 

[glenn57]
