It has been seven long, cold, frozen weeks, but the weather and ice broke a little bit the other day and I was able to paddle a while! It was a balmy 36 degrees and sunny, so I loaded my 'yak and headed for Osawatomie Lake. 36 degrees is the coolest that I have paddled in. Thanksgiving day two years ago I paddled when it was 38 degrees at Horsetooth Lake in the foothills west of Ft. Collins Colo. Oz lake is not a big lake, but it is big enough when you haven't paddled in nearly two months. My Hummingbird fishfinder told me the water temperature was 37 degrees, and the fish were pretty much near the bottom of the lake. The deepest part of Oz Lake is 27 feet. You may have to come back to this site again to see the pictures. I will probably need to have my wife load them to this site this evening. I am signing off from the Country Bean coffeeshop in Paola.
