We had a week of cool weather and it really shows in this weeks readings.
The surface and mid-range temperatures have dropped significantly. The temperature drop caused several varieties of submerged plant life to die off, though the American Pond weed is still doing fine. The plant die off caused the water to lose 23 inches of clarity with 42 inches being the lowest clarity reading do far this year. Dissolved oxygen remains good and that big bump up in the mid-range disappeared in one week.
The pond is telling us that fall is just around the corner. Darlene will soon be fattening up for winter and the best lunker fishing of the year will occur during the next two months.
