Christmas Lake

[JoelW]

Christmas lake is definitely a time of year dependent lake.  Early last year it was actually pretty nice.  The viz was about 20', the vegetation on the bottom was growing nicely and attracted a lot of fish.  Towards the hot part of last summer the water was warm enough that the vegetation died pretty much completely.  The bottom was pretty ugly.  By the fall the viz was around 5'-7' with very little growing.  I would assume that similar weather this summer would produce the same results.<br><br>There is another problem with Christmas.  The public access on the north end has very little parking, so go early in the morning or on a weekday.  There is a platform and a boat on the bottom at the south end, but there is not parking there, nor is there really an access.  There used to be, but it has been closed.<br><br>Still, for me Christmas is close to home and it's a easy dive to do to stay in practice.<br><br>JoelW
