 Don,
Hope all is going well on Saddle Lake. I have Saddle
 on the schedual for
 next week for an algae treatment and an E.coli
 sampling. I would like to get
 your input on the algae. I will probably do the same
 as last time and
 evaluate and spot treat where algae growth is
 excessive. Algae typically is
 problematic this time of the year, but the weather
 this year has not been
 typical. Please let me know if this sounds alright.
 Thanks Andy
 

Hi Andy,
That sounds good because although I don't see it as a
 problem at my location, I went on a boat ride with
 someone else from the lake and they did see it as a
 problem.  It sounds like spot treatment is the thing
 to do.
 We had 8 people on the boat and everyone is just
 overjoyed with the results of the weed treatment!
 Some observed results of the removal of milfoil have
 been:  the lake no longer supports a large number of
 swans, swan babies (cygnets) are being eaten by
 turtles because they can be seen now, fish seem to be
 already increasing in size, lake use by boats has
 increased, one person who strongly voiced objection to
 the project now admits the lake is much better. 
 Thanks to you and PLM for being accurate in your
 projections that the milfoil was "no longer a
 recreational nuisance by July 4"!
