Notes

In addition to above weather notes algae growth on our lake has been minimal and best I have observed for many years.We do however have significant weed growth and further out from shore. Many boat owners have had trouble getting out to deeper water without plugging the propeller.
In the last several years a different weed has appeared which is more grass like and is now the dominant weed. We are definitely in a drier cycle with minimal water flowing into Kip at this time of year. Water quality is good and I am unable to explain what is different this year than other past years.
