You could be right. I sample two reservoirs in Central Iowa weekly and in the last 2 weeks there has been a large shift in algae community composition from being dominated by green algaes to mostly diatoms. The cool weather could have also caused the same change in Bremer pond. This shift in algae usually causes a noticeable color change in the water to more of a brown appearance. I wonder if Dwight observed this?

I can't help but look at the graph and wonder when Dwight will get a truckload of trout to feed Darlene.
