Water clarity is something I know nothing about. I am going say the about three different stages if water clarity. clear, stained and muddy. I know what I call muddy or milky. But what do you call stained and how do determine it stained and not just clear. I took this off the G&F fishing report " water clarity is about 2 feet of visibility ". So is this clear or lightlystained? Will someone give me clarification.
