Water clarity 24 to 30 inches – water level hi - Grass is slowly taking over all the shorelines and now growing out towards the middle of the lake.  The shoreline grass is almost impossible to fish and pass the shoreline grass is another roe of  Hydrilla out to 30 feet away from the bank.

Wind was blowing 12+ with gusts up to 15 and 17 at times.  I had a good bow in the line which explains why I missed about five or six fish. I didn't start fishing till 2 o'clock and quit early at five so really not a tremendous amount of time to make any judgments.

Landowner has put a note on the fence regarding parking at the fence if in fact the fields are wet so not to tear up his crop. Unfortunately this is a pretty good walk to the actual launch area.

I will say the fish are starting to be scattered throughout the lake due to all the heavy grass the Hydrilla and summer like changes in general.
