During the first week of August, I took a small news crew from Channel 5 (WPTZ) fishing in Malletts Bay. With fishing as a back drop, we discussed the potential impacts of the spiny water flea on the Lake's food web and fishing. The spiny water flea is a predatory zooplankton that is not yet in Lake Champlain but may soon find it's way in from the Champlain canal or Lake George - both of which are connected to Lake Champlain.
