Summary: Water quality field work involves drilling with an ice auger on four small lakes in the Den Lake watershed to determine if water is present below the ice, and if so, the depth of the water. The concentration of dissolved oxygen will be measured to determine the lake's potential to support overwintering fish. The results of this late winter survey will be used to identify the need for further fishe...
