16 mile creek by Rick Sowinski Maggie Jones
On the water surface was natural debris,foam. No signs of discharge. Evidence of water useage by kids fishing,we talked to them. 2 of them caught a total of 3 fish down stream from test poit owards Lake Erie. No algae. Water flow was slow. Water level was low. Water colour was brown ,usually clear . Water clarity was cloudy. No odour. There were 4 bikes and a couple tackle boxes on culvert when we arrived. I could hear kids downstream talking and coming back for their gear. 2 of the 4 kids had caught 3 fish. I helped teach 1 how to tie a fishing line and we all shared pleasant conversation .We discussed Water Rangers and Lake Erie Guardians and they were intrigued (might get some new members) I took their discarded fishing line and told them I would bring to the garbage at home so it didn't end up in water of in grass and expressed the importance of leaving things the way we found it or cleaner. They were thankful and hopefully will follow my example.
