The flowage has remained relatively full this season compared to other summers in recent history. Current depth is 1570, so it's down a bit, but not nearly like it was at this time last year. In my opinion, the stained water has always limited/inhibited weed growth. The deeper the water, the less sunlight penetrates. Also, as stated earlier in this thread, the TFF drainage basin does not contain much in terms of agricultural runoff, and therefore the water body is not really nutrient rich. (In my opinion, that is a good thing) The forestland surrounding the TFF (and its feeder streams/rivers) has a direct impact on the PH of this tannic water body. The water depth, lack of nutrients, PH of the water, and sunlight penetration are all contributing factors to lack of weed growth. It is still my favorite place to fish in Wisconsin though!
