Notes

About 21mm rain in past 48 hours after a long dry spell in this area. Boat launch and dock still somewhat affected by high lake levels but not as much as it was. Bit of a current flowing as even during the 10 mins I was there testing the water had withdrawn enough that I didn't have to hop from dock onto picnic table to avoid getting feet soaked as I had to when I arrived. Lots of waterbugs, dragonflies, red winged blackbirds, tadpoles, minnows, weeds up the the surface, bullrushes and lily pads.
