You are correct on the bloom of some type. This morning I put a florescent light behind the container and they are swimming around in there like crazy.

The Zooplanktons are still thriving with clarity down another 4 inches. Dissolved oxygen remains near saturation levels. I combined the observed data from that past three years in the second chart. This is for the open water season only since I still have to go through another winter to get the third winter�s data. The last four weeks on the 3 year chart are the mean for two years, but those will fill out to a full three years in short order.

Perhaps my trip to Lake Pohoja on Monday will yeild some answers to this late season water clarity anomaly. Bad news for the chilly water late season buzzbait LMB. Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

Hard to believe the water temp's that high near the surface with ice on the pond. Ice house gets it's yearly cleaning and update tomorrow. I will be ready for that four inches of ice. I heard a good soul is getting me a set of the ultimate ice cleats for my new -70 degree boots. Dwight, do you know anything about this? Good morning Dave, I've checked the ships systems, and everything appears to be running normally.

That will eat up thin ice in a hurry! :-) Sure has been nice to be warm and dry so long. Given the 7-day forecast, we'll be into December with no winter, and that knocks off one month! Ha!
