ehg Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Yes, very beautiful lake with nice fish. Wonder why that clearness is so rarely found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Lots of factors in water clarity. Water/ground chemistry Lake bed material/ composition Inflows wave/wind/currents water temp In general the clearer the lake is the less potential for food for fish.

Again, very beautiful water clarity on that lake DanC. Reminds me of Arctic Char lakes in Northern Quebec were there is no food except other chars. Did find a lake similar called Hambone L. in Algonquin Park. It was a headwater at top of system; beautiful similar water but no fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookslav Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Awesome coloration....I've never seen a northern lake so blue! I know of a lake In Algonquin that is similarily "green" though... Its clear down to an easy 20-30'....when the sun is shining its a bit more aqua/blue but on the Overcast days its Emerald green. I've been told there is a lot of Limestone in the lake and the cold springs in the lake keep it from getting much turbidity or algae. That combined with the shore being lined with several bogs...its naturally filtered clear. It is also high in elevation and has no Feeder creeks running in, only creeks running out through the bogs. I don't know this to be factualy correct as to why the lake is so clear and green...it just what I was told. But she sure is purdy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guidofisherman Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Wow, Dan....that's fantastic. Unusual to see such blue water in our tea stained lakes. See you fishing. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torco Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Wow hard to believe that is right here in Ontario. Somebody mentioned Hambone in Algonquin but this Lake X is on a whole other level. No wonder it is on your bucket list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danc Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Dan, I think that's a lake I need to visit!!! Photo-ops would be unreal with a polarized filter and a nice sunny day! I actually had a polarizer on for this shot Bill. Not a great shot with the boat in the foreground. As much as I would have liked to take the time to set up for some better shots, time is of the essence when your handling an airplane, dragging a 16' boat out of the woods, putting the motor on it, setting up rods, etc. Especially if you're with a couple of non photographers. But I hear ya. I could go back to this lake with a camera only, and leave the fishing gear at home. Some day, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
