JAK2 entered 0 for year of residence because left blank 9. carp may be the most populous fish in the lake; northern have really dropped off; I fish the lake more than anyone I know; A science teacher friend told me he thinks out lake is so green because the chemicals kill off the good algae; 3 years ago the weeds choked off the lake...the last 2 years had less weeds but many more days of green cloudy lake color 10. water clarity worsens through the summer 11. Aquatic plants have always been a problem but seem to be getting worse; white water lily is overwhleming the lake 12. none of the plants are beneficial for my enjoyment of the lake except for the white water lily which is good for fishing 13. JAK2 entered 0 for # of years as resident b/c no response; I live on the South Side of the lake. The water is going down every year. The lily pads are taking over. Let's get the lake up and get rid of some lily pads. 14. Weed growth prevents boating in shallow areas unless controlled 15. guests are put off my poor water clarity and won't swimm 16. Aquatic plants especially intefere with activities on the SE side of the lake; Pond keeps getting shallower and swampy; boating is difficult; filamentous green algae on pond 17.

With regards to aquatic plants, the weeds are denser and the lily pads are thicker and more numerous and are growing closer to our shore 19. Said. aquatic plant interference better because of treatments; Water clarity has always changed with season 20. Exotic plants are worse; Eurasian Milfoil spotted in June 21. Weeds not bad after June 1 after the weed spray is done; in Sept 06 I collected. over 1.00 dead crappies on my beach; in May there are lots of carp jumping at the west end of the lake 22. Petition the DNR to make Owasso a catch and release lake only for game fish; Would prefer mechanical aquatic plant control because it would leave the water clearer and it would be better for the fish population 23. interference by plants only slightly better 24. I remember Lake Owasso before there was any weed control 25. I don't fish often 26. weeds in May 27. I think that curlyleaf pondweed is the worst but I am not a plant expert. Plants interfere wi h use which is very important to a lake so close to the cities to the cities of Roseville and Shoreview
