Calling lake algae?

[skawtty]

I have been getting different reports saying it is like soup and another person said a day after it was clear. We are heading up tomorrow anyway but just wondering what the real story is.

Was up Sunday, the wind was around 20-30 from the south. The north end where I would call "Typical" for Calling...nothing exceptional.....the south end was the clearest I have ever seen that lake. Obviously what ever Algae there was was blown north, but that wasnt to bad at all. I wasnt in the most northern part of the lake...about a bit better then 3/4 the way up on the west side up past Volks Wagon point. So its gonna depend on the wind and where you are. Over all...no issues.

Been a great fishery all year...one of the really good walleye lakes for sure. Sad though that the pike have really gone by the way side...

Just got back and ya the fishing is still incredible. We were told last week to fish in 30+ feet. We tried and a couple hits . We moved (drifted into 10-20 ft and game on!). They bit on blue green yellow pink dam even purple jigs with a minnow. The algae is as Thorne said normal. Wasn't bad at all. When we were cruising from the tower to vwp we hit a few thick spots which you could smell from far away. Tight lines all an enjoy while we can!
