Lake Darling - Tuesday, August 15, 2006

Took a ride up to the lower end of Lake Darling yesterday.
the weather sure has been hard on this end of the lake. Landing 3 is weeded in, there is a lot of algea also. Landing 1 looks a little better but the water is really low due to evaporation and nothing coming in from Canada.
There is quite a bit of blue/green algea at the ramp, shorelines, along the dam as well as being pretty weedy. The water is badly off colored and doesn't smell too good either. I don't know about up north at Grano or Greene but I wouldn't reccommend a trip to the south end of the lake. Makes you wonder if the hard water season ahead will be any good this year. Sure makes you sad to see such a great lake as this in such stress. I believe this is the worst I have seen it in the 34 years I have been fishing it. So guys, save yourself some gas and stay away from the lower end of the lake. Doesn't look like you can fish from shore in too many places either on this end.
