Emma Lake

Iota of forest forest fire smoke. Lots of algae in water. Many less water birds. Some boat activity.

Quite a few boats on the water. Lots of chunky green and brown stuff floating. Saw loons, ducks, geese, pelicans, bald eagle, lots of different birds.
Last evening we noticed something that looked like spilled gasoline or oil on the surface of the lake. It was in the middle of the lake and moving towards shore but down from our shore. It was about 1/2 km long.

Quite a bit of green chunks floating on the water and on the bottom. Small minnows. Low boat traffic. Water is quite clear.

Slight smoke smell in air. Lots of green weed and at edge and bottom for the first couple of feet. Then the water is quite clear. Water level is low.

Sample was taken at the shoreline as our dock is no longer in the water.

Lots of birds. Not too many boats on the water.

Had to test from shallower as our dock is not in the water. Lots of pollen and seaweed in the water. A few boats on the water.
Was unable to do conductivity test as the batteries were dead.

Sample taken from close to shore as our dock is out of the water. Calm and sunny. Very little boat traffic. Lots of ducks and geese. Algae floating on top of water near shore. Minnows near the shore.

The weather has been very warm. Lots of clumps of weed floating and some algae as well
