We seem to have come to the right combination for weed and algae control. The lake is clear, little algae, and although there are some pockets of weeds left in general the weed coverage is much more sparse. The lake looks nice.
Perch are in abundance right now in four to six foot depths. I am finding a lot in the six to nine inch size range so they are not huge but growing. Bass fishing has slowed considerably after an early strong start. They should be sitting on beds soon for the spawning season. Remember Bass are currently catch and release to assure another strong year class.
Yesterday from my pier I saw two loons diving on the lake. That is a very good sign. Loons prefer the crystal clear lakes of the northwoods as a rule so we must be at least a temporary alternative. We are seeing so many previously absent species like the flock of pelicans earlier this year. Last year there were only one or two as first time visitors. Now, if we can only attract eagles it would be great. Don't smile .......it could happen.
