Black River outflow to Lake Ontario by Deb Hudson
There is more algae on the river. There was a kayaker and someone canoeing. There were two groups of fishers. I spoke with one person about taking water samples and told him about the Water Rangers website. He told me he had caught a few perch earlier in the day that were too small to keep as well as a small gobi fish. Construction continues on the bridge during the week.
