Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature Levels

Many sport fishermen use dissolved oxygen levels and water temperatures to determine the best depth for finding fish. Approximately every two weeks from spring through fall, CWLP measures these levels at five different locations on the lake. The measurements are taken at one to two foot depth intervals and recorded on the map below.

A. Near the water intake tower near Spaulding Dam
B. In the main basin of the lake, midway between Lindsay Bridge and the C&IM
Railroad bridge
C. Just west of the C&IM Railroad bridge
D. In the upper (Lick Creek) arm, between Woodside Bridge and the I-55 bridge
E. In the lower (Sugar Creek) arm near the Wildlife Sanctuary
