Water Clarity

[j1smt]

I am wondering how far the stained water goes. I haven't been to Lake Sak for a couple weeks, but it was pretty stained as far east as White Earth.

 

[scrotcaster]

well if my shorts are any indication its fairly stained.. gotta quit sneezing

After today probably from Williston to somewhere around coleharbor!;:;banghead;:;banghead;:;banghead

I had to go all the way south of bear den to get to somewhat clearer water last Sunday

 

[NodakBuckeye]

Yeah if you want clear water, go south past Bears Den, plenty if fish catching going on well north of there

rivers still chunkin mud...

we put in at beaver last sunday afternoon and fished past white earth - both sides... kept a few, but much tougher than b4...

we either gotta get good at catching them in the mud or drive further east... gonna b a while b4 we see clean water on the west end now i think...

It looked pretty gnarly from my vantage point just east of Tobacco Garden. Between the river and the wind, that section has no chance

That's for sure I'm pretty sure you could have surfed a couple of those waves the other day 40mph west wind is not nice on this part of the lake

doesn't seem to be mattering if the water is dirty or not.

So Antelope flats be a bad idea er not? Muddied up? Gameplannin for Sunday looks like not much wind finally. Where's everybody else going? Might head to the hook I spose if the waters all messed up round newtown.

i'm wondering the same thing...

i know some fishermen can catch fish in less than ideal conditions, i just aren't 1 of them...

I would not call them less than ideal, fishing has been pretty good from the casino south, anywhere from backs of bays to main lake points. Cranks, spinners and slow death have all worked.

i was talking bout 701's question on antelope... i would say it was ideal from lunds to to antelope earlier, just not now with this dirty water... it was easy 1-2 hour limits b4 this mud... and with the road construction by williston and new town now, the casino is a 2 hour drive on shitty roads, or a long run from even white earth on rough water...

Hate to unload, run, get pissed then reload n unload at the hook but........prolly just hit the hook n slide around from there to be safe.

This was three days ago and is the last good shot for now.

I gotcha now, makes sense

WOW, thats a crazy pic, would have never imagined it showed up like that... looks like mud bout to shit house or antelope, and stained to south of shell... think how many yards of dirt it would take to make that chocolate shake...

It will start cleaning up in a few weeks around middle of July if west wind stops blowing. The Yellowstone is already starting to slow down. It sucks because everyone is in the Arm now. I do prefer to fish the River myself as there is not as many idiots.
