Poor Viz this time of year...?

[BioDiver]

There has been a lot of suspended solids in the water lately.  Part is due to the rain run-off and part has to do with the spring turnover (although much of this mixing is already done with.

In spring as the ice melts the cold dense ice water sinks and mixes with the warmer water below.  This mixing does stir the water a fair amount and can cloud the water.  As the water warms and the cold water settles the mixing slows and the solids will settle out.

Another cause is the wave action.  There are no waves all winter so sediment can settle in areas that are typically pounded with waves all through the open water season.  Now that the waves can stir things up again, that sediment is now being stirred and will take a little time to settle out.

Give it a little time of no wind and no rain and things will start to clear up again.
