Excellent News for Loon Lake

To-day I was advised by the Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters (OFAH) that Loon Lake tested negative for Spiny Water Flea and Zebra Mussels in 2010. You can find out more about these invasive species by going to the OFAH website at :

We must do all that we can in preventing these invaders from entering our waters. You can also discover what steps you can take at the OFAH website!

Each year I am amazed at the results of the tests, given that we have a public boat launch where contaminated boats can enter our lake.

I plan to be sampling again this summer, perhaps in August.
