Weed survey in Bass Lake
Flown by Phill Woolery, Agriculture & Natural Resource Educator, Purdue Extension – Starke County
Bass Lake is a 1,345-acre lake in Starke County, Indiana and has problems with invasive Eurasian milfoil (an aquatic weed). Extension conducted a survey of the weeds in a shallow area.
Weed beds were visible in shallow areas, but the pilot encountered significant limitations due to the specific weather conditions needed for data collection -- low winds and an overcast to prevent glare on the water.
