    Cool, cloudy and very windy.

    Loch Leven at Ben Voirlick Drive by Nancy Dobson

    Once again there are a lot of weeds, so it was difficult to find the real depth. Beautiful sunny day, after a very windy day yesterday . We saw four turtles, one that was “shedding”, which we’ve never seen before.

    Kipabiskau Lake - 600m southeast of Kipabiskau Regional Park by AL BRADSHAW

    Minimal visible or floating algae which has not been the case in past years late in the season. Lake is approx 10 -12 inches lower than normal spring levels. Surprised at secchi reading as mid August could see anchor rope 6 to 8 feet down. Water is clear along shore and significant weed growth this year which may explain partially why we have minimal algae. Weeds are thicker and a lot further out from shore than past years. Also abnormal amount of floating weeds from passing boats have been removed from the lake .

    Kipabiskau Lake - 600m southeast of Kipabiskau Regional Park by AL BRADSHAW

    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.
