I may go, but it's going to be hot, so I may just decide to hang by
the pool all weekend!
Great fishing report!
It really is a great fishing report if you fish Lake Lanier.

May 30, 2008

LAKE LANIER IS DOWN 13.6 FEET, AND LAKE IS STAINED AND THE CREEKS AND
THE RIVERS ARE STAINED & 75 DEGREES.
Pardon my ignorance, but in this context, what does "Stained" mean?
The water is red from the red clay runoff, this part of Georgia has lots
of red clay. It happens after a heavy rain and results in low visibility.

Used to see that when I was stationed in Mississippi - saw a lot of it
in Alabama - something about the SE and red clay.

Around here when you talk stained water, it's usually tannin from pine
trees - ugly brown color.

We have the same thing all along the coast and swamp lands of the
Caronlina's and Georgia, except it is a translucent and sometimes opaque
black. When you move to SC, the Okefenokee Swamp is worth a trip for
anyone who enjoys wildlife and nature.
