Publisher:Washington State Department of Ecology
Commentsdense area in northern tip; light breeze, partly cloudy. Very dense M. spicatum. Here to collect biomass and frequency data before the lake is to be treated with fluridone. Biomass was collected without GPS unit. The summary species list was compiled by what was seen from the boat and what was pulled by the SCOBA diver. The density of the M. spicatum makes the boat motor difficult to run. Sorting was slow due to amount of M. spicatum. Lots of filamentous algae clinging to plants in the northern tip.
