At the season's start, the water level was too high and in the absence of a "no-wake" order, tons of "nutrients" entered the lake.

Anybody notice how dark the lake water was this summer? (ALL Summer).

I did, and will lay this disaster--for the most part--at the feet of the dam operators.

That our previous summer was the wettest summer I can recall, played an essential part, but "The Perfect Storm" brought us here .

Those other factors which, IMHO, contributed to this can be found below:

We did notice how dark the water was all summer. It was hard to see bottom.
