Hiya,

Tossing around the idea of one more trip before I go full swing archery and wondering of water temps and turnover... Guessing things should be in the later phases of turn over at this point with the temps and wind we have had, but would like to know if anyone has some solid temp readings...

Thanks in advance..

Yah Steve ive been out the last 3 days in a row and its at 54 right now on Baby and L.boy. 3 days ago it was 59-60 so its dropping fairly quickly now. L.boy looks a little murkier than normal but only a little and is holding steady at that. should start turning any day!

Have you been seeing any at all? Was a tough bite a couple weeks ago when temps dropped to the 58-59 range before the warm up...

Very cool!! Keep me posted. I will be up Wednesday Night to get a last trip in, with a little archery as well, along with yard clean up, dock pulling...all those fun things to prepare for winter...

Very interested in water temps. With little boy at 50 or so, how was clarity?

It really wasn't too bad it definitely was fishable. I would imagine now it is done and even better. most of the smaller lakes down this way from leech are all done turning and are good to go now. not sure about walker bay and agency, kab ect, haven't been up there for a little bit now.

Were you over on baby lake chain last evening just before the rain? Small boat small motor? If you were I was the one who pulled up slowly with the white motor
