Deep spot : Mudpuppy pond

Location of observation is at south edge of the pond, because I was not able to access the pond with a canoe. The water level is very low, and a ridge of grasses exists between the marshy shore and the main pond. I walked along the edge grasses until I got to an open area. There are weeds/algae growing and floating at the surface. The water seems clear, but can't get a Secchi reading due to the weeds. There is a network of beaver water trails and landing pads throughout the grassy area (pond grass that grows in tall and in tufts with water between).
