YES, We Have Zebra Mussels!
Anyone who finds the zebra mussels please send a photo, with a ruler in it to show the size of the mussels, to me as I need to document the size for the DNR. They are trying to track the population. We are seeing a lot of them on our side of the lake. Thanks, Amy Klebe [amywolves14@gmail.com]

There will be road work on HWY 32 going into the summer. Work will also be east of and through Suring and go into the summer. Completion date is vague. Two important Full Closures are (1) the bridge over the Oconto River 1.4 miles north of County M and (2) later in the summer HWY 32 for a few miles east of Suring. It seems that the rest of the road work will be driveable but will require lane closures. Weekends will be opened up a bit. The official detour to avoid the bridge site is R north to M west to HWY 55 north to HWY 64 east to HWY T.

The effects and causes of low levels of dissolved oxygen in lake water
At the annual June meeting of the association the membership approved the purchase of a dissolved oxygen (DO) meter for the purpose of providing a key missing piece of information needed to provide our on-going monitoring of our lake. Along with sampling for chlorophyll, phosphorus, temperatures, and water clarity testing, coupled with boat launch duties and invasive species monitoring, these along with this new instrument will help give us a complete picture of the health of the lake, and most importantly a heads up if something’s were to change. I have put together a question and answer sheet on why doing dissolved oxygen is so important, I hope you find it useful and informative. Please feel free to pass this message onto any of your neighbors who are not members of the association so they know what's going on. Kurt read the question and answer document
Bathymetric Contour Scan Map of the Boot Lake completed by the WDNR, all part of our lake management plan. It's a nice representation of the various water depths around the lake.
