A Review of Secchi Transparency Trends in Minnesota Lakes
Hennepin County This county-based case study was developed in support of a report entitled “A review of transparency trends in Minnesota lakes.” It is one of several county-based case studies, which provide a brief lake-by-lake description of transparency and TP trends and potential reasons for the observed trends. Corresponding transparency (R-generated seasonal Kendall with median, max, and min for each year) and summer-mean TP graphs for each lake are included following the lake-by-lake descriptions. Further details on these charts and overall trend assessments, are found in the report cited above. Hennepin County had 19 lakes with significant trends. Of these, 14 had increasing transparency and five were decreasing. Eurasian water milfoil was a common exotic among these lakes and was present in 13 lakes. In most cases, confirmation dated to the late 1980s and mid 1990s. Zebra mussels have been present in Lake Minnetonka since about 2010. In general, there was good correspondence between transparency and TP trends for 13 of 14 lakes with increasing transparency. Of the five lakes with decreasing transparency, there was an increase in TP over time in four. Summary comments were derived from TMDL reports, communication with MPCA project managers, and local resource managers including Three Rivers Park District (TRPD; Rich Brasch and Brian Vlach). Increasing transparency Lake Calhoun is a large, deep lake located in Minneapolis and is the focal point for the Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Regional Park. It exhibits a significant increase in transparency based on a continuous record from 1988-2014. These data are augmented by sporadic measures dating to 1971. -

2007 MPCA Metro Lakes PFC Fish Data – Additional 20 Lakes January 28, 2008
Update: Urban Lakes PFCs Study January 29, 2008 The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has completed analysis of additional data from a study of PFCs in fish in Twin Cities-area fishing lakes. The MPCA began the survey in April 2007 after finding relatively high levels of PFOS in Lake Calhoun fish in Minneapolis last spring. The latest findings represent another 381 fish taken from 20 lakes and two new river reaches. (The first results were released in August 2007.) The findings show a mix of results, from elevated levels of PFOS to no detection. However fish from several lakes had levels high enough to possibly be of concern. These lakes include Lake Johanna (Arden Hills), Cedar (Minneapolis), Harriet, Hiawatha, Jane, Keller, Powers, Red Rock and Tanners. For example, fish from Lake Johanna have levels similar to those previously found in fish from Lake Calhoun and Lake Elmo. Fish from a number of lakes or rivers in the survey show little or no trace of PFOS, including Cedar (Scott County), Centerville, Colby, Green Mountain, Hydes, Independence, Nokomis, Peltier, Upper Prior, Sarah, Silver, and the Mississippi River at Brainerd. The MPCA urban lakes study will be complete after results from Lake Minnetonka and Lake Josephine come in later this winter. Certified analysis can take several months due to the number of parameters included and the fact that only a few labs in North America can analyze PFCs in fish tissues. Fish were collected over the summer by PCA and DNR crews and analyzed for 13 different PFC compounds. Lakes were selected based on higher fishing pressure and prevalence of species such as bluegill and bass, which have shown relatively higher concentrations of PFOS. -

Xps Supercarbon Hooks
HOOKS & PRE TIED RIGS XPS SUPERCARBON HOOKS Extra Performance Series is the name of Trabucco quality ho- oks developed for top match anglers, which now gets much wider also touching different segments such as feeder fishing, commercial carping, trout fishing, light drifting and beach ledgering. In line with existing series, also the new ones display “extra performance”, because the extreme quality is not only achieved with the development of new shapes, but also through the em- ployed materials, the finish and functional details. The strength/ lightness ratio has been tailored size by size, taking advantage of the special hi-carbon content steel, which is only available in Japan, where these fantastic hooks are produced under strict quality control. All points are chemically sharpened, then further finished by laser to get absolute perfection and durability. 5($/6,=(( 120 XN N Nickel Regular This pattern is well known all over Europe since when the carbon content steel was unknown in the fishing tackle industry. From roach to mullets, from eels to soles, it has caught so many species both in fresh and salt waters, showing great efficiency when baited up and while removed from fish mouth. It’s popularity is certainly also due to the long point, parallel to shank, and to the narrow ankle which provide bait and fish hold. All bait which are normally pushed on to the shank are finely matching it: from pinkies and squatts to earthworms in freshwater; from enchovy fillet to shrimp’s tail in the saltwater. &RGH 6L]H :LUH 3FV%DJ 121 XB BR Bronzed Forged MicroBarb Its code recalls the classic 120, as its shape comes from long shank popularity, but its strength is stepped up. -

Bushaway Road 150 Years – the Sesquicentennial…..…41 V. Bibliography …………………………………………….. 43 VI. Appendix: Petition to Annexation into Wayzata, 1956… 44 INTRODUCTION THE HISTORY OF BUSHAWAY ROAD AND ITS NEIGHBORHOOD documents the early history of the road and settlement of the neighborhood. The research was conducted and prepared by Irene Stemmer, of the Wayzata Heritage Preservation Board (HPB)1 as a means of preserving the history of the Bushaway Road and its neighborhood. We began with a history of the road. Thanks to Nancy Kehmeier, who located the original 1858 surveyor’s map of the “Shakopee to Dayton” road, we knew in 2008 that County Road 101 (Bushaway Road) was a 150 year old road. Unfortunately, just being 150 years old was not enough. Historian Bob Frame of Mead & Hunt reviewed the history of the road and deemed it ineligible for consideration as a “historic road” due to the changes over the years to the surface. So we stopped the presses and celebrated our 150 year old road.2 The next step was to document the history of the neighborhood. The Bushaway and West Holdridge land was annexed to Wayzata in 1956 which was after many of the early histories were written about our city, so where do you start? The starting point became the “Architectural History Evaluation of Locust Hills Estate by Andrew J. -
Lake Minnetonka Special Assessment 2003 Status of the Fishery
Lake Minnetonka Special Assessment 2003 Status of the Fishery A special assessment of Lake Minnetonka occurred from June 9-27, 2003. Although the lake has fisheries of many important game species, this survey was undertaken to target walleye, northern pike, and yellow perch populations using only gill nets. Species such as bluegill, black crappie, largemouth bass, and muskellunge, while sampled incidentally with gill nets, are better sampled with other gears used during more-complete survey types. Such information can be found in documents such as the internet-posted 1997 Minnetonka lake survey (in “Lake Finder” section of MN-DNR web site). Lake Minnetonka’s next multiple-gear survey is scheduled for 2007. Walleye sampled in 2003 averaged 16.5 inches and 1.97 pounds. Sixty-five percent of walleyes caught were larger than 15 inches. Walleye catch per gill net was 3.3, below the median value this lake type (6.6 walleye/gill net) and the 2002 special assessment (5.2 walleye/gill net). Minnetonka’s walleye gill net catch values have typically been below the lake-type median, except in 1999 and 2000, when per-net values were, respectively, 8.8 and 7.4. Walleye fingerlings are scheduled for stocking, according to Lake Minnetonka’s management plan, in alternating (even-numbered) years; however, stocking occurred in consecutive years from 2000 through 2002 to make up for sub-quota stocking in 2000. (Only 4,846 pounds of the 6,446- pound quota was stocked in 2000.) Because surplus production was available, 10,808 pounds of walleyes were stocked in 2001. -
