What's your best guess as to when it will be divable?
The Edges are all open 15-20 feet , and the ice has turned Black, It will be soon, but this cold snap will slow things down a bit, Hopefully within the next week.

This mornings report, The Lake is about 1/4 open after the rains yesterday.
The whole south end is open.
The wall area is open the size of a football field.
The rest of the ice has blowen in near the boat landing, and has large holes in it. So it won't be long.
Thought I would give a Wazee report seeing as the thread is rather dated. Dove Wazee 9/15/08 did the first dive at the site with the sunken cabin cruiser and did the second dive on site #2 along the wall near the big drop off to 355 feet. Viz was about 20 feet surface water temps in the upper sixties with temps below the thermocline of around 50. Nice day for divinig after the clouds cleared away. Was sorry to see that Molly's Bar and Grill downtown Black River Falls had closed. Was looking forward to lunch and a cold beer after diving!

Hi,
I just talked to Keith the owner of Wayzee sports about the donation fee for this Sat cleanup dive.
Donations are for the Jackson county dive team and will really be appreciated.I'm glad to know that they will be there to help in any water related accidents.
You can write out a check to the Jackson county dive team for tax purposes also!
Keith also added another regulator to the prizes.
Thanks for supporting the dive team.

Conditions update:
My wife and I dove Wazee on Saturday at noon. Water temp was 60 degrees from the surface down to 35 feet. No noticeable thermocline to that depth. We didn't go deeper. Viz was good at around 20-30 feet. Not many people around and it was a lovely day for diving. Lots of big bass around the rocky area to the left from the boat landing site.
I found a good condition Zebco rod and reel at 35 feet.Cut the line and brought it up. Left it at the boat landing. I don't fish so I hope someone can use it.
