The warmest lakes

[popolarbear]

I like tonka(minnetonka). lake is more like 30 smaller lakes each bay with its own conditions that change daily, and hourly. some of the shallower side bays can get clear even during summer. late fall some of the side bays clarity will exceed other metro lakes. 20ft vis.
little long lake(mound) has free parking, shore access, and with an inflatable raft you can drag your gear out past the shallows. Dnr rates this lake as the clearest metro lake, and it is clear, but i think tonka will match its clarity, at least in the late fall.
Sylvia is also good

problem with clarity, you need a lack of suspended particles, and no free floating planktonic algae. some metro lakes might be low on algae but with any wind or early season(before algae) you have too much free floating particles.
once the weeds grow up, they trap free floating particles. and with enough weeds, free floating algae will also have problems. in some thick weedy areas with open holes, you get clear spots!
I suspect there may be some unlisted,difficult to reach, private man made lakes that might be realy good(extended metro). ive got my eye on one that looks clear, i just have to figure out how to get in.(its not on any DNR offical lake list)
with the difficulty, i think its a sleeper for big fish!
