The bug counts have been completed for 2009 at site #2, Bear Island, east side, by a much focused group of participants.
We started the count at 9:30 am completed at 12:30pm. We surpassed the required number of 300 bugs to be identified by 200 plus.
I wish to thank all those who assisted in this annual task to insure the lake water quality is being maintained.
