LAKE SURVEY EnCon was here three days last week collecting data for their report. Results will not be available until 1985.

In addition to updating the species inventory data, the state will provide age and growth information on our game fish, proportional stock densities, relative abundance of the species, temperature, oxygen and pH and alkalinity profiles.
