That looks like something blooming to me. Thanks for the pics. 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.

Water temperatures have dropped significantly this week. 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. Updated Weekly Three Year

Nice info. Will you do the graph for 3 yrs.? Will be good to look for visual patterns over time.

It is a rare day when the water column's temperatures and D.O. are essentially the same top to bottom. Updated Weekly

That is odd, other area waters are clearing faster than Bremer Pond. 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.

Just before fall turnover. Plankton can have a burst due to new nutrients comming to the surface through turnover.

He meant that last weeks all time clarity low didn't stand up as this week is lower.

The water is finally starting to clear up. High D.O. levels going into a long cold winter are a very good thing! Updated Weekly

In honor of not going shopping on Black Friday I did the pond readings a day early. We are supposed to have 30-50 mph winds tomorrow which is more likely the reason.  Updated Weekly

I like that clarity on the rise and D.O. very high. 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?

Do you have these 40 mph winds today, too, Dwight? 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!

Yes, steady around 40 with gusts higher.
The lack of winter has been nice though I fear payback may be in the offing.

Dwight, fron the chart I couldn't determine whether the water was still open or iced over. Did the ice melt?
