July 2, 2012 Water Clarity and Field Report
Hot, Hot, Hot. This string of 90 degree days doesn't seem to let up. Water temperature today was bathwater, 84-86 degrees. This weather is feeding algae blooms, which is now beginning to negativity affect submerged plants in many parts of the lake, by shading and smothering them. Emergent, and floating leaf plants, almost all of which are now above water continue to look healthy. The Fox River is relatively clear, but has covering of watermeal. Water meal looks like green cornmeal, and is actually the worlds smallest flowering plant, not an alga.
