5/6/2013 5/09/2013 8:30 AM 4 0.48 0.0 M Only patchy spots of snow on the ground. My bay of the lake is ice free, but the majority of the larger and deeper part of the lake still has about one foot of ice. Black Oak is about 580 acres and has depths to about 80-85 feet. While kayaking yesterday, we did not see any active spawning beds and did see some winter kill of small fish where the bay had probably frozen completely. Water was absolutely clear, as usual, and plants were healthy with no invasives.
