Upper Carp River

Lots of natural debris around and it started decaying. Foam on the surface but could be because of natural debris. The water level is higher than usual and no signs of algae anymore.

No leaves on the tree. Lots of natural debris not only on the water's surface, but it's everywhere. The water level is higher than usual. Can't see algae usually but can see it when dumping the camera in the water and capturing pictures. Some strange odor, but may be it's from natural debris.

As we are in the Fall, there is lots of natural debris everywhere. Be careful on big boulders

Watch your steps on boulders.

The leaves are falling drastically as we enter in the Fall. Big fish are seen this time. The puffy mushrooms are dying and a squirrel is playing around.

Leaves are falling - more natural debris. Lots of boulders. A little risk of going down as the leaves are wet and making it slippery. The presence of fish for the first time was observed. Puffy mushrooms are dying.

The water level is lower than last week. All the mushrooms are dark now.

Overgrown vegetation everywhere. Weather is good to assess water chemistry. Lots of white Mushrooms near the river. Invasive species (Himalayan Balsam) were observed near the river.

Everything is pretty clear, just some more natural debris.

Saw some invasive plants nearby, maybe Himalayan balsam. Private property on the left so enter the stream from the right side. Bugs and mosquitos around.
