Lake Bottom Mysteries - UWSP
Lake Bottom MysteriesTasty Treats for Fish and BirdsThe newsletter for people interested in Wisconsin lakesLake TidesBy Sandy Wickman, CLMN Regional Coordinator, UWEX Lakes andJeffrey J. Dimick, Laboratory Supervisor & Research Specialist, Wisconsin CooperativeFishery Research Unit, Aquatic Biomonitoring Laboratory, CNR, UWSPThis installment of Lake Bottom Mysteries is dedicated to the largest inland lake in Wisconsinand goes beyond the lake’s bottom. Lake Winnebago, spanning several counties, is 131,939acres and boasts 11 public parks and natural areas. Lots of interesting critters call LakeWinnebago home. The Winnebago system is one of the best walleye lakes in the nation andharbors nearly 40,000 lake sturgeon! Freshwater drum, burbot and catfish are all found in thebig lake, but perhaps the most underappreciated creature is a non-biting fly resembling a giantmosquito. (Giant mosquito? Hmm, I wonder if that’s why it’s underappreciated )Chironomus plumosus is the scientific name of this non-biting midge. Midges, orChironomids, comprise a large group of insects, the adults of which are known bydifferent names depending on location and species. Around Lake Winnebago theyare known as lake flies or bay flies. If you have ever been near the lake aroundMother’s Day (it was a little later in 2014 because of the lengthy, cold winter), youcan’t miss them. Swarms of these lakeflies permeate the skies and can cover buildings and“When I was a kid, Icars. Their sheer numbers may be a nuisance to humans,remember the city brought outbut they pose no health threat and are extremelysnow plows to clear the roadsimportant to migrating birds. Another small, secondarywhen the hatch was on.”hatch of lake flies often occurs in late August.Adults of Chironomus plumosus hatch and live for only three to eleven days. So, even if we areannoyed by their mass numbers, it’s short-lived. There are no functional mouthparts on either themale or female (hence, the non-biting descriptor), so adults do no feeding.

So what happensbetween the egg and lake fly stages? Ah, hereis where we get to the mystery at the bottomof the lake! The first instar (a stage in the lifeof an insect between two successive molts) isfree swimming. Not a bad way to start your life– just hanging out in the ebb and flow of LakeWinnebago. The next three instars are spent ina U-shaped tube (constructed from mud andsaliva) at the bottom of the lake or river. Smallposterior prolegs (fleshy, short legs) are usedto anchor the larvae in the tube while the bodyis extended out of the tube, collecting foodin the loose organic material at the bottom ofthe lake. While in this stage, Lake Winnebagolake fly larvae help to support the largestself-sustaininglake sturgeonpopulation in theworld!The male lake fly has large feathery antennae.This transformation can take a few minutes,during which time Mother Nature sets anabundant table for panfish.Adult lake flies are a yummy treat for purplemartins and warblers. The peak migration ofwarblers is timed perfectly to the hatching oflake flies, which provide these tiny birds withthe food they need to get to northern Wisconsinand Canada. Nesting songbirds already raisingfamilies in the area also take advantage of thefood source for their growing young.The larvae ofsome species oflake fly midgesare bright redand calledbloodworms. Thered color is a resultof hemoglobin,the same bloodpigment that makes our blood red. Hemoglobinhelps the larvae store oxygen for times whenthere is little or no oxygen in the muddy lakebottom. The presence of bloodworms canindicate organic enrichment.The lake fly hatch can be a spectacular event,but biologists have been concerned that it hasnot been as successful as it was twenty or thirtyyears ago. Then came 2014, with the biggesthatch seen in a decade or more! It is possiblethat the lake fly hatch is dependent on waterquality and that the water quality is improving.The hatch last year was like the days of old– lake flies coated buildings and roads in anopaque cloak. If you are near Lake Winnebagothis spring, keep a lookout for this short-lived,but important piece of the food chain thatstarted its life at the bottom of the lake.The larvae pupate and transform from aquaticto terrestrial life forms at the water’s surface.Rob Zimmer took this photo of the swarms of lake flies at HighCliff State Park, on the shores of Lake Winnebago in 2014.Lake Tides 40(1)2
Dreaming of SpringtimeFebruary is the time to browse through your seed catalog and dream up the perfectlakefront landscape. We would like to help jump-start your plant selection by offeringsome of the best woody plants and flowers suitable for native plant landscaping andhabitat restoration projects here in the Midwest. Keep these plants in mind as youthink about lakeshore restoration, meadow plantings or wetland rehabilitation.Over the last five years, Douglas W. Tallamy, Ph.D., and chair of the Department of Entomologyand Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, has been specifically researching the usefulnessof native woody shrubs (and other flora) as host plants for our native caterpillars. These plants willin turn support moths, butterflies and other beneficial wildlife.

CLMN SuperstarWisconsin is fortunate to have many talented and knowledgeable people acting as Citizen Water QualityScientists on their lakes. We would like to highlight some of the accomplishments of the volunteers in theCitizen Lake Monitoring Network (CLMN). Want to see a CLMN volunteer acknowledged in Lake Tides?Please send information to Amy Kowalski, Lake Tides Editor, at akowalsk@uwsp.edu.By Sandy Wickman, CLMN Regional Coordinator, UWEX LakesVolunteersTed Ritter, Vilas County AIS Coordinator, says,“Rollie has been a supporter of the Vilas County AISPartnership from day one and few people have stayedas close to the partnership’s activities and helpedpromote it as Rollie.”Rollie doesn’t just monitor lakes – he monitorsstreams as well. Kris Stepenuck, Volunteer StreamMonitoring Program Coordinator, works with Rollieand says, “Rollie does a fantastic job of streammonitoring and has trained many people over thepast several years for the Water Action VolunteerProgram. He also leads school groups on streammonitoring field trips, and has monitored two sites onthe Deerskin River in Vilas County since 2005.” Heoften helps Kris with an advanced macro-invertebrateidentification course and has co-taught streamecology at Northland Pines High School. In 2006he was recognized for outstanding achievement incitizen-based monitoring.Rollie has a bachelor’s degree in botany andidentifies botanical specimens when called upon. HeLake Tides 40(1)4RobethorBut Rollie does so much more! He is President ofthe Vilas County Lakes and Rivers Association andis instrumental in planning the annual North CentralWisconsin County Lakes Workshop. Rollie hasbeen actively involved with the Phelps Town LakesCommittee since its inception and has served asSecretary for many years.byKrtWe are very fortunate to have Rollie Alger, of Phelps,in Wisconsin’s CLMN program. Rollie has been anexceptional water clarity and chemistry volunteerfor fourteen years! He is talented and efficient, andreadily shares his time, as well as his expertise, withnew and existing volunteers. Rollie distributes springsampling supplies, is the keeper of the CLMN Hachdissolved oxygen meter (kept at the Phelps Library)and is currently serving on the CLMN AdvisoryTeam, which is charged with determining the futurecourse of the network.photolater obtained a PhD in educational administrationand was an Assistant Principal in Rhinelander and aPrincipal in Ripon.He has been very supportive of the Vilas CountyShoreland Stewardship Initiative.

Volunteers Help to Shape the Future of the CLMNOver 250 Citizen Lake Monitoring Network (CLMN) volunteers providedvaluable feedback in a survey designed to identify the strengths andweaknesses of the CLMN program. We have already begun to implementthis feedback by re-constructing our CLMN website to make itmore informative and easier to navigate. Check it out atwww.uwsp.edu/uwexlakes/clmn. We are also developing trainingvideos to serve as “refreshers” for active monitoring volunteers,and increasing our outreach activities. If you received an email or postcardinvitation to take our survey and have not yet provided your comments,please do! Your feedback is very important to us!www.uwsp.edu/uwexlakes/clmnWe Want Your Feedback!The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is asking for public input on updates to our LakesPartnership aquatic plant management (APM) guide. This guidance outlines how to assess a lake’s plantcommunity, gather information relevant to any treatment being considered and how to evaluate treatments.Why are we making changes?We would like to update the technical aspects of our APM planningguidance based on what we have learned over the past seven years.We hope to incorporate lessons learned from research and many lakeherbicide treatment evaluations into meaningful guidelines for APMplanning. The updates will include suggestions for management goalsfor controlling aquatic invasive species (AIS) and improving datacollection relevant to many of our APM issues.The Aquatic Plant Management in Wisconsin guide was publishedas a collaborative effort of the Lakes Partnership in 2005. When firstwritten, the DNR public comment process was not available, andwe may not have received input from all of you. Since that time, wehave learned a great deal about controlling our most problematicinvasive aquatic plants through research partnerships that includedthe DNR, Army Corps of Engineers, lake planning consultants, APMmanagement consultants and lake groups.APM plans are critical for APM permitting and AIS control grants. Realizing that much of this AIS controlwork is undertaken by local lake organizations in consultation with DNR and private APM professionals,we would like feedback from all of you on whether these updates will help meet your planning needsand the information needs of the Lakes Partnership. The guidance will be open for a 21-day commentperiod beginning in mid-February. Look for the link under the Highlights section of the UWEX Lakeswebsite (www.uwsp.edu/uwexlakes), or sign up to be notified of this and other new DNR programguidance at the following website: http://dnr.wi.gov/news/input/guidance.html. All comments will beconsidered, revisions will be made to the guidance document as warranted and a Response Summary andFinal Guidance document will be made available on the DNR guidance webpage.55Lake Tides 40(1)
Slowing the Spread of AISFriendly Conversations are Making An ImpactWBy Erin McFarlane, Aquatic Invasive Species Volunteer Coordinator, UWEX LakesWe will roll outa few trainingvideos this springas a resource fornew and seasonedinspectors alike.photo by Robert Korthatercraft inspections took amore conversational approachthis past boating season, thanksto our dedicated watercraftinspectors and a renewed emphasison supporting their educationalefforts. The Watercraft Inspection Report formused by inspectors was simplified and updatedfor 2014 to better aid inspectors in talking withboaters about aquatic invasive species (AIS)prevention. Inspectors shared the preventionsteps required by law with boaters, explainingthe reasons for the steps, and answering anyquestions the boaters had about the laws. Theyalso asked boaters if they had been contactedby another inspector this season in an attemptto cut down on boater frustration.Watercraft Inspection Data:2014 Fast Facts (data as of 1/20/15) According to various county and regionalAIS staff, boaters and inspectors alike seemto enjoy this new approach. “This newform and conversation style has been wellreceived overall in my county,” says MicheleSadauskas, Oneida County’s AIS Coordinator.“Our inspectors say the form is much easierto use. Having the ability to personalize someof the new forms was an unexpected and120,021 boats were inspected byvolunteer and paid inspectors249,708 people were contacted aboutAIS prevention70,351 hours were spent conductingwatercraft inspections97% of boaters contacted were willingto talk with inspector19% boaters reported their watercrafthad been used on a differentwaterbody in the past five daysexciting opportunity. This allowed my teamand volunteers to share locally importantinformation and better connect with boatersand anglers.”Since the CBCW updates have been wellreceived (and to keep from driving ourcommitted inspectors crazy by updatingmaterials too often), there will be no changesto the CBCW forms for the 2015 boatingseason. The program’s emphasis on providingour watercraft inspectors with the training andresources they need to make their educationalefforts successful at the boat landings willcontinue. For example, we will roll out a fewtraining videos this spring as a resource fornew and seasoned inspectors alike.For more watercraft inspection results, and toview data for specific counties and landings, goto http://dnr.wi.gov/lakes/invasives and clickWatercraft Inspection Data (on the right handside of the page) under Data & Maps.www.uwsp.edu/cnr/uwexlakes/cbcwLake Tides 40(1)6
AIS - How Do They Get Here? Part TwoIBy Tim Campbell, AIS Communication Specialist, UW-Extension and Dept. of Natural Resourcesprovided by Wisconsin Sea Grantn the last issue of Lake Tides, wediscussed what OIT invasion pathwaysare. Do you remember what OIT standsfor? If you said Organisms In Trade,you would be correct. Once you aredone celebrating your correct answer,continue to read more about two related OITinvasion pathways – aquaculture and baitrelease.AquacultureAquaculture is the raising of aquatic organismssuch as fish, crustaceans and plants incontrolled environments. In Wisconsin, bothfood and bait fish species are raised. Currentregulations combined with voluntary practicesby the industry keep the risk low for aquaticinvasive species (AIS) to be introduced through aquaculture. The AIS Hazard Analysis andCritical Control Point (HACCP) program, developed by Michigan and Minnesota Sea Grant, isone example of a voluntary program used by the industry to identify AIS risk and take action tocorrect it. The HACCP program actually has NASA roots – it used HACCP to develop food tosend to the moon!photo by Seller Family - Creative CommonsBait ReleaseUnderstanding the bait releasepathway can be a little trickier.The bait itself could be an invasivespecies (try distinguishing juvenilesilver carp from gizzard shad), orbait water can be contaminatedwith an invasive species (zebramussel veligers are invisible tothe naked eye). Buying bait froma licensed bait dealer is a goodfirst step to make sure that yourbait is not contaminated. Onceyou have your bait, never reusebait on a different body of waterif you have added lake waterto your bucket - it is illegal.That could add those hard-to-seeinvasive species to your bucket.Lastly, always dispose of unusedbait in the trash, and never dumpbait into a lake or river. This willensure that any potential invasivespecies are not introduced into theenvironment.7University of WisconsinStevens Point’s NorthernWisconsin AquacultureDemonstration FacilityBuying bait from alicensed bait dealer is agood first step to makesure that your bait isnot contaminated.Always dispose ofunused bait in thetrash, and never dumpbait into a lake or river.Lake Tides 40(1)
Lake TidesForty Years and CountingForty years has come and gone for the LakeTides newsletter, and some of you have beenalong for the ride. It doesn’t seem that long formany of us, but for some it is a lifetime agoand for others “ancient history”! In these 40years, Lake Tides has brought you news abouteverything from acid rain to zebra mussels.There have been ups and downs in statewidefunding for lakes, and many great educatorsand contributors have come and gone. But,through it all, lake lovers like you have made acrucial difference in protecting and preservingour beautiful lakes.60% of readers saidthey share their papercopy of Lake Tideswith at least oneother person – that’sfantastic!We want to make sure thatthis newsletter continuesto provide a resource thatreaders find helpful in theirefforts! That is why in thefall of 2013, we partneredwith a University of Wisconsin-Stevens Pointclass in the College of Natural Resourcesand Dr. Kristin Floress to survey a sampleof Lake Tides readers. We were interested inunderstanding your opinions on all aspects ofthis publication, from the quality of the writingto your preferences in how it is delivered.We also wanted to know whether Lake Tidesreaders were different from lakeshore residentsin Wisconsin who were not reading thenewsletter, so we asked some non-subscriberswho own lakeshore property to answerquestions as well. You may have participated inthis survey.A total of 675 people responded to the survey.Lakeshore property owners made up almosttwo-thirds of our Lake Tides subscribers. Mostof the respondents – readers and non-readers– are over 55. While this makes sense in termsof who owns lakefront property, we wouldalso like to engage younger audiences in lakerelated information.The vast majority ( 78%) of subscriberssurveyed indicated that they were moderatelyor highly interested in Lake Tides. Similarly,more than 80% of the readers surveyedindicated that they were satisfied with theinformation, content, writing and layout. And60% of readers said they share their paper copyof Lake Tides with at least one other person– that’s fantastic! We hope to continue ourtradition of sharing quality information aboutWisconsin lakes with you!We have all felt the pressure of tighteningbudgets over the past several years, and whileLake Tides will remain a free publication forthe foreseeable future, we wanted to knowhow much you value this newsletter. When weasked how much you would be willing to payfor an annual subscription to Lake Tides, only 36% of you said you would not be willingto pay for it. Almost half were willing to paysomething for it, and 12% said you would bewilling to pay more than 10! That’s great! Ourpartnership is thrilled that you value Lake Tidesso highly.“Keep up the good work. Lake Tides is a terrificeducational tool, but it is very difficult to get past thepeer pressure to have pristine lawns and do what is rightto protect our natural resources. The majority of societywill follow their neighbors and try to compete to havethe “prettiest” lawn regardless of the consequences toour watershed. Many people in our market are simplyinterested in having water to float their pontoon. Thankyou for doing great work for our natural resources.” From a Lake Tides readerLake Tides 40(1)8
We also wanted to find out if readers aredifferent from non-readers. The easiest wayto do this was to take a sample of lakeshoreowners in Wisconsin who were not subscribingto Lake Tides and ask them the same questionswe asked you. Respondents were asked to rankthe importance of eight threats to Wisconsinlakes. Readers ranked the top six listed hereas more important when compared to rankingsfrom non-readers. This is evidence that you areall taking to heart some of the lessons from ourarticles!þþþþþþþþþþþþ There is a lack of info about what you can and cannot do whenit comes to your lakefront property. We purchased lake frontproperty two years ago and assumed we would get a packet ofinfo after the exchange of property ownership but we didn’t. Weonly heard small bits and pieces from other land owners. From a non-subscribercreated an easy-to-use subscription form onour website (www.uwsp.edu/uwexlakes). Wealso plan to feature more examples of actionsthat landowners and lake organizations aretaking to promote lake health. We believe thatsharing these examples - and inviting you toshare them with others - will help foster newnorms in lake stewardship. Finally, we planto regularly survey our readers as well as thegeneral lakeshore public to track our successesover time and ensure that we are meetingyour expectations and needs. Of course, youdo not have to wait until a survey shows upin your mailbox to let us know what youthink! Just email or call us with your feedback(uwexlakes@uwsp.edu or 715-346-2116).Habitat lossLack of shoreline plantsShoreline developmentLawn and garden fertilizersLawn and garden pesticidesClimate changeAquatic invasive speciesPolluted runoffOftentimes social scientists find a directconnection between what people think theyare able to do and what they actually do. Afollow-up question asked whether you agreedyou were able to take actions to protectWisconsin lakes from those same eightthreats. Interestingly, we did not see much ofa difference between readers and non-readerson this question; both groups usually agreedthey could do something about each threat.

For example, morethan 30% of readers currently volunteer time toprotect lakes, while only 14% of non-readersdo. Almost 20% of readers reported using arain barrel while only 12% of non-readersdo.
