Prettiest lake ever

[ehg]

Yes, very beautiful lake with nice fish.

 

Wonder why that clearness is so rarely found?

[kickingfrog]

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.

Absolutely stunning Dan!

 

Glad to see you out and about and enjoying yourself.

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.

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

I would for sure say limestone.

[Guidofisherman]

Wow, Dan....that's fantastic. Unusual to see such blue water in our tea stained lakes. See you fishing.

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!

[4x4bassin]

Those are some real impressive pictures there Dan , I go to a lake like that in central Ontario for lakers but like Torco said this lake X

is on a whole different level !

[MJL]

Incredible photos Dan

[solopaddler]

Just catching up on the reports now, was looking for this one.

Glad it went well for you Dan, and you're right that lake is breathtaking!

Carribean-esque

[asdve23rveavwa]

I missed this one too, pristine water, and lakers. Be-you-tee-full!!!

[Moosebunk]

Incredible! Bucketlist material times two for sure Dan.

[bucktail]

You guys have never been on Hamilton Harbour in August....makes that look like sewage!!!!!!

[Joey]

Wow Dan, reminds me of the lakes out Calgary and BC way. Just beautiful

[Whopper]

Amazing Dan

 

Glad to hear you had a great time

[wantabigone]

Increadible water colour. What a gem

[BillM]

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!

[aplumma]

Glad to see you can still find a place that beautiful Dan.

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.
