Lazy Lake

Ironically, if you're actually lazy, you'd never get to Lazy Lake. To take these pictures I was struggling to hold two jars of fish and the plankton tow in one hand while
grabbing my Rebel with the other from around my neck. I couldn't zoom with only one hand, but I managed ok. Jana is carrying her macroinvertibrate net to catch bugs and Lauren is carrying ten quarter-inch minnow traps, which is what we use to trap the fish we then collect and study. She and Jana are wearing waders because Lazy Lake is so swampy that if you don't wear them you can't get close enough to the bank to throw the traps, let alone collect. I was wearing regular boots and barely made it without getting my boots full of water.
