ok some more interesting shots that id share with the forum members.
1) st.croix river at a feeder creek. water clarity was in the 3ft range. smallies/sunnies/ and odd small minnows. not allot of fish, but with the water grasses and the clarity and bolders it was interesting. i suspect there are tons of interesting feeder spots and even their are small isolated bays that clear up with spring water intrusion.
2) boat launch at wayzatta bay. this is a small protected launch that is not publized much,and is very difficult to launch by novices as its small and steep. its also protected by a  rocky wall, but swimming isnt allowed im sure, but a quick photo off the side of the boat is. this shows how clear some spots in tonka can be, i might have some better pics of the back bays to share if i didnt lose the cd. oh vis at this spot was probably about 5ft range.
3)just for comparision this is a picture from a spring i like in the orlando area. it is fresh water and is currently 10ft deep(you can see the bottom!) vis is roughly in the 15-20ft range.(this is the first time a manatee came up the river to the spring area)
