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]

The effects and causes of low levels of dissolved oxygen in lake water
The Boot Lake Improvement Association has purchased 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
