    Chats Dam Head Pond by Nancy Hayley

    We were unable to get a secchi reading due to a much stronger current at our location. Water levels were down and, because we are in the head pond of the dam more water was running through creating more current. We also noticed more weed growth in the area, possibly because of the lower water level and the recent hot weather.
