FWIW, in my parts, The People's Broken Republic of California, when
someone reports stained water, visibility is about 2' to 4' deep.
Muddy means visibility is less than 2' and clear means visibility
below 4'. But we speak funny in California. Everyone is a liar! Oh,
that reminds me... Take a guide's fishing report with a grain of salt
unless he's reporting his actual results (with photos!). Bait shops
and such will rarely admit to lousy fishing. It's bad for business!


If you have such disdain for California, why do you live there?

I mean, when it got to the point that we could no longer tolerate
Virginia, we moved.

I'd love to live in northern California, between Point Reyes and Bodega
Bay. A retired architectural photographer friend lives near Point Arena.
Terrific vistas. Cold water.
