Overall lake water quality continues to be good and the LCRA reports that no toxins were detected in the SPATT bags deployed in March. The level of dissolved oxygen in Travis Landing water samples have dropped considerably, however, from 7.7 milligrams per Liter on February 28 to 5.25 mg/L on March 30th. One possible reason could be warmer water and there is no danger to fish unless it drops below 5 mg/L.

 

The large patch of algae to the right of the boat ramp is now turning brown, dying off in the sun. As the weather warms up, LCRA expects to see more algae (good and bad) growing along the shoreline so the advice from our local LCRA biologist is still to avoid contact with that area. If your dog treads in any algae, please be sure to rinse off their paws under the fresh water hose at the park gate to be safe.
