Entering LIS Sunday and was wondering what the water temps are like up there right now?

On Sept 13th around 4PM i was getting readings around 64-68 degrees surface temperature. A few days before i was getting readings around 62-64 but the sun warmed up the surface a bit over a few days. This was on Gillis lake.

I just spoke with an outfitter on 9/17, and he was saying the same thing. Several reports of water temps about 65 deg.
