Crystal clear water also means that there is a scarcity of nutrients, otherwise algae would grow. But this isn't necessarily a desaster, not all lakes are equa

Crystal clear water also means that there is a scarcity of nutrients, otherwise algae would grow.
But this isn't necessarily a desaster, not all lakes are equal in their conditions for various species. This might just be what the lakes looked like for the longest time.
Btw., there are large fish hunting smaller ones in clear water. Most extreme example are sharks.
- dccoolgai 6y agoMost freshwater species are "ambush predators". Edges, shadows, eddies, etc. That's why those things are generally more productive fishing spots. I could be wrong, but I seem to recall that even larger shark species tend to hunt around edges like thermoclines.
