[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 321868, member: 337"] If clarity allows it, careful observation of the surface water on the wind blown side will reveal trillions of freshwater zooplankton, which prey on phytoplankton, which in turn rely on [U]sunlight[/U]. That top foot or so of water, which teams with life, gets pushed across the lake's surface by the wind. So the windblown side naturally ends up teaming with the very foundation of the food web. Thus the entire food chain often “stacks up” on the wind blown side. I used to be big into aquariums and would need to harvest zooplankton to feed fry. A guy gets an eye for zooplankton if he’s ever been forced to forage for them. Ha ha. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] Also - that water has to go somewhere - it can’t keep accumulating on the windward side. So there also a rip current if you look closely.... a river flowing upwind carrying water back to the other side of the lake to maintain level. You’ll often see flotsam/jetsam moving with it... a dirty trashy little river flowing upwind. Man have I had some good bites pitching into or slipping with rip currents. [/QUOTE]
