It’s hot - the water that is. Fishing sucks.

Fishing didn't suck.Water temp was 68 F and the fish were cooperating. The fish don't only eat in the spring and fall.

Yes, marshmallows. Fishing doesn't suck, just people. Thanks for your positive input.

You're wasting electrons Don, people fishing with maggots and/or corn niblets don't belong on the fly fishing forum.

I’m not too sure what your problem is ? I asked a simple question here, them gave a report of my findings. As for the marshmallow and maggot responses I only fly fish. You just have to try a little harder when they aren’t eating chironomids or boatmen . But thanks for your positive comments on this thread ( eyeroll )

In the interests of sharing,
There are many flies that have successfully performed for me @ Beaver. These would include balanced leeches, retrieved leeches of many types, dragon nymphs, minnow patterns, bloodworms, boobies, blobs, grasshoppers, ants, caddies adults, poppers, mayflies.
Also, chironomids, boatman, swimmers.
1)As far as deep fishing, Beaver lake occasionally layers up with water depths greater than 10’ becoming lethal.
2) Temperature profiles reveal similar temps from top to bottom.

Have depths greater than 10ft been shown to be oxygen deficient?

The only time I’m aware of where summerkill happened is when the ACA turned on the air compressor late in the summer. There was a partial kill as the low 02 water mixed with the higher 02 water near the surface. All was not lost however as a couple of bears enjoyed the kill.

The wisdom of man doesn't always work out so well.
I guess they don't try that anymore.
I have been able to fish a lake near the bottom all summer. I guess the particulars of each lake varies. Vegetation growth, wind mixing and other factors all influence what the oxygen levels look like

Goldscud,
I’ve often wondered about the layering. I suspect that it might occur only occasionally. One year, 9’ was the magic number. Anything deeper got nothing. Other years, much deeper than 9. I haven’t a clue why.

My 2 cents.Clearer watr than Beaver,light penetration from the sun.Might cause layring at depth.But as you say Don.To layer at 9' seems odd to me..My q Is at 10' or better,in summer is there oxygen down there.
