Lake Condition Update August 22,2020 Hello All, I conducted a survey of Perch Lake yesterday and wanted to give a breakdown of what I observed. The plant growth in the lake looks to be under control. There were a few places where harvesting would be beneficial like the SW channel, a little bit of the eastern shore, and near the horseshoe channel. However, it would only amount to a few acres, which is not enough to have the harvester come out. I would not recommend treatment at this time as the pondweeds are fairly calcified, making them quite resistant to treatment. The lilies in the SW channel have really taken off but we were able to make it through the channel as there is a narrow but clear path. Also, the freshwater jellyfish bloom is one of the largest I’ve seen. Very interesting phenomenon to witness. As always, if anyone has questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Thank you, Rick Buteyn Water Resources Specialist office 616.447.3351 progressiveae.com
