When we’re talking about clear water, what exactly are you referring to? Clear by visibility or clear by clear of algae or other contaminants? Are we referring to what we see, or what the fish would see? Would we consider a lake that has less then 5 feet of visibility to be clear or stained? Also, I’m not trying to be a wise a**, I live in the central midwest and have never fished what I would consider a clear lake before.
