Big Carp River Herkimer Rd : Big Carp River

As I was departing the site, I noticed fishing lures, bobbers and line strung up on the power line above the water beside the bridge. They were quite sun faded, indicating that they had been there a while. Eventually they will likely fall into the water due to sun rot of the fishing line. 3 ducks were seen in the river, I could not make an ID. The water level was visibly lower than last week, which was surprising given the recent rain. There is not a lot of aquatic vegetation in the area. In the shoreline area, tree species such as red maple, white spruce, speckled alder and white pine were noted.
