I am on the fence as to was it the zebra mussels out here or the lake being so low for a couple of years then coming back up is the reason it got better. Water quality was great at Bridgeport for years and years but I think about 5-6 years back all the lakeside construction caused a ton of runoff and affected clarity. I know tve fishi g has really improved tve past 2 years quality wise.

Thats curious, they made Belton way clearer. I noticed this spring the lower end of RC was clearer than I can ever remember, coincidence?

I even read where they said them getting into RayBob was going to mean all the grass would die yet the grass has come back great in many areas of the lake. Chambers needs some cleaning up so maybe this is a good thing long term.


Thats been my feeling, I have no scientific evidence but it does seem they doom and gloom with these things is because the problems they cause with the water treatment equipment but for the outdoors man they aint all bad.
