Notes

Today is a beautiful sunny and calm day. The water was running over the dam and towards the big bay (part of Lake Ontario) behind us. There was a cormorant and lots of May flies.
A neighbour to the Lake on the Mountain Park came by when we were taking water samples and was very interested in what we were doing. I gave her some information including the Water Rangers website. She told me the ice was off the lake March 15, 2018.
