Thanks

If there's one lake that winterkilled, all of the other lakes in the area would be winterkilled too. This one lake being Devils(Matchewaw) lake with all of the springs.

I don't know much about how aerators work. In a lake like Spring that is fairly shallow would they only help oxygen levels immediately around the aerators? Maybe the majority of the lake winterkills but the aerators ensure some survivors??

My visit to lake isle says that it may be in a bad way. There was a lite green alge floating and suspended throughout the water. Many locations and didn't get anything, not even a signal out of the sonar. The lake is only going to be good for watersports. I went to devils lake and not much better but after several hours i did get a walleye. So matchayaw is not dead, but not active. Sonar did find something but not many. Fished at chickacoo and did get several bites and did land several, about 7. Its not doing so bad, but they only were biting on worms, nothing else was working. Tried cheese marshmellows,trout bait, rubber worms small and large also fake maggots.
