RB Water Clarity?

[Mallard1100]

Anyone else feel like the water has been very clean this year so far? Maybe lack of runoff? I could see down to the bottom yesterday in some deeper water. I even saw a nice bass cruise by right by the boat in shallow water. Felt like I was in an aquarium. lol. Hopefully it stays that way. Lots of life out there yesterday in the skinny water.

I was noticing that Sunday it only turned brown as entering the first bridge and very brown under parkway. Was too windy to see much though in bay even spotting bunker was hard. Went into the AK to get out of wind and very clear water in there

Its all about rain. Rivers and creeks get vary muddy when it rains and it will effect the bay almost overnight

Sharkriver was crystal clear this past week but its small and always clears up fast.

I haven't checked the rainfall totals so far this year, but we are probably below average.  Snowpack melted quickly and early on, and all of the rain we've gotten hasn't created much runoff.
