The Invasives, Named One by One — No Lake Record for Any of Them

DNR lake survey record; searches of this lane, 2026

The checklist names the invaders; the lakes' record answers species by species. Zebra mussel: no record ties it to Riddles Lake, Pleasant Lake, or the Yellow River in the carriers reached. The carps — common carp as a surveyed presence, and the invasive-carp record of the river systems: no record ties either to the township's lakes beyond the banked negative, which stands at the strength of the DNR survey file: Riddles Lake's survey of 16 July 2019 and Pleasant Lake's of 19 June 2008 (29 acres on the DNR's figure, 27 on Lake-Link's, printed whole in this history) carry fish-community records in which no invasive event, fish kill, or carp record appears, and the 2006 Tribune account of the DNR survey — some 900 bass across lakes of about 110 acres combined, joined by a channel — is a bass story, not an invasion story. The negative prints species by species precisely so that a later record for any one of them can be added without disturbing the others.
