mosquito lavae!
clear with typical slow flow but high water (NO Turbidity)
nice to see some seasonal water movement!
TDS could be an error? but very low, slow waters!
Water is typically low and slow moving. At the walking bridge over the Creek (while taking D.O. reading) a miniature wave rolled UP stream from under the bridge! *** Silently and sleek TWO RIVER OTTER swam (without disturbing life or sediment) up and out of sight toward Swan Lake. These were the same pair that were having a feed and healthy splash down at Bob's Bridge , 1 1/2 hr earlier !! There should be 'invasive' American Bullfrogs available for lunch/dinner in the Lake!
first visit for quite awhile / use of 'dip-extension device' helpful
high water into flood plain/ gardens
