Figured today would be a nice day to do some exploring. Had the lake mostly to myself. No one else for a while then saw couple of others later. Highlight was seeing a bald eagle flying around and landing the ice.
Now that the snow has melted, a bunch of trash was visible on the ice. Picked up pop bottles, an energy drink bottle, wad of foil, couple of bait containers, several potato chip/snack bags, broken bungie cord, and the kicker, two plastic grocery bags with what appeared to be the remains of a couple of people taking a dump out on the ice then just leaving the bags behind.
Saw one spot with three or four pop bottles frozen down in the ice. Someone apparently thought in was something fun to do before they left. 
Appears that without the snow cover, algae is making a comeback with the extra light. Saw extensive clouds of stringy algae in the deeper water, below about 9' on down to the bottom. Also looked like an explosion of little white plankton everywhere.
