I have checked many lakes in the area and have not found any lakes with clear enough water to spear on..anyone else finding the same results

yeah i have also checked many of those lakes in that area. Havent found any that have been real good as far as water clartiy. There are many lakes out there i would get out there and start checking some more. Sometimes you just need to get out there and get the info for yourself

i would recomend swan lake by Silver Lake.. Got some nice fish out of there last year... Happen to stumble upon some sunken trees with what i could see with my underwater camera. Hope to find them again this year.

Are you talking about spearing out there? or what were you catching out there.

must be catching, because there aren't many northerns swan.

I would try winsted or jennie if I were gonna spear

I fished Jennie a few times last week and it is pretty cloudy. I was surprised that I lost my pimple only a few feet down. Some years you can see the bottom anywhere on the lake.

i usta spear a ton our in this area when i lived out here. Always seems like it would take a long time for these lakes to clear up.

Try French!

French was cloudy til middle of january last year.. Usually takes awhile to clear up

i find that hard to believe becuase its soooooo small!

i have also noticed that french usually stays dirty for a long time after ice up
