  Jim,   Pasted below are the dissolved oxygen measurements that Gavin King recorded yesterday on Spirit and North Spirit lakes.  Oxygen levels are dropping below 1 mg/l in the lower half of the water column in Spirit Lake, so we recommend that your club should start that aerator system within the next 10 days.  In North Spirit Lake oxygen concentration is still greater than 1 mg/l to a depth of 16-17 feet, sLake:   Spirit (Little) Site 1 new      County: Taylor          Season: 2010-11
