Notes

There was a little rain while testing, and there weren’t as many people out as normal. The water had a film to it and smelled a bit musty. Dead fish and litter were on the edge of the water, and little fish swam by while I tested.

Location description
Pearl River on the west side just downstream of the Ross Barnett Reservoir Spillway dam. Collected from the dock south of the parking lot.
