We marked fish down to 35 or 38 feet, can't remember, but definitely 35, and had herring stay alive down to about 40. We did come up with some deaders, and apparently, the lake doesn't quite have an even thermocline or oxygen break, since either I had a couple of deaders at 35 feet due to oxygen lack or something else happened, can't really tell, and a couple others dead at about 41 feet. That wouldn't surprise me too much, if perhaps in some spots the oxygen gets down to 34 and others 40, just as you can have 6 inches or more of ice in a cove and a point open...Just a thought, but I had never considered before that maybe oxygen penetration is a little uneven as the lake turns over.
