Went back to my old fishing spot on Lake Erie and the water was so clear it felt weird
I grew up fishing there with my dad, and the water was always kinda murky. Went back last month and I could see the bottom rocks from the dock, which never happened before. My buddy who still lives there said it's because the zebra mussels cleaned it up, but that messed up the whole food chain. Has anyone else seen a change like that in a place they knew as a kid?

My local creek got clearer too, which I always thought was impossible.

Whoa, wait - so it actually got noticeably clearer? Like, how long did that take to happen after the mussels showed up? I'm trying to picture it, like did you wake up one morning and the water just looked different, or was it a slow thing over weeks? I've seen our local pond get a bit greener after rain but never clearer, so that's wild to me. Was it just the one spot or the whole creek that changed?
