Man, took me a while to find it on google earth. It is apparent that there is a lot of agriculture in the area, you said in your study the weed growth is up, has anyone checked for high phosphorus, or nitrogen. Being spring fed it could take years of whatever, to reach critical levels. The brookies doing well is a fly in that ointment though. We have a lake here in the Cypress Hills is also not doing well, they blame suckers, maybe it is, but 25 yrs ago there were weeds in this lake. Now the only weeds are reeds along the edge, 3 and 4 ft. of water nothing, not a weed to be found. This lake has a history of 50 yrs. of high levels of cattle in the drainage, makes me wonder.
