Lac McGlashan

Water from stream and lake is higher than usual

Very hot. Black flies are bad. Lots of pollen on the water’s surface

Tributary stream flooding near dock due to spring melt and rain. Observed Canada Geese, Cormorants and Pileated Woodpecker.

Leaves starting to change. Windy

Sunny/cloudy mix today with a light wind. Water was calm. Cold temperatures still at about the same level as yesterday.

Observed a few red wing blackbirds and squirrels in the trees near the shore that were quite active. No fish yet.

Water was very murky and the secchi depth was likely only just deeper than the depth of the water.

A brisk, clear, and windless afternoon on the lake. The first frost happened this morning. Plenty of leaves are now resting at the bottom of the water and float on the surface.

A calm and cool day. Water is very clear today. Plenty of small pumpkinseed and bluegill.

Windy. Lower humidity. A few clouds but mostly sunny.

Calm, humid

The surface of the water was covered in a thin layer of pollen. We observed and heard a green frog, a pileated woodpecker, a rock bass and a few sunfish.

Something of note was the 0.5 chlorine reading. we tested this with a few different test strips, in slightly different locations and got the 0.5 reading each time. What could be causing this?
