     Listed below are macrophyte maps of the Honeoye Lake Northern and Southern
basins that our weed harvesting crew use in planning where they want to
harvest over the next several weeks to provide the maximum relief for
recreational lake users.
     The color code key is on the left hand side on the maps.  The colors
represent how much of the water column the vegetation is occupying in %.
For example; red means that the vegetation at that location is occupying
90-100% of the water column.  In red areas you can usually see the top of
the vegetation.

Red                    ~90-100%
Yellow/Orange  ~50-90%
Green                ~15-50%
Blue                  ~  0-15%

There are white contour depth lines every 5' on the maps. Most of the red areas on the map are between 5-10' of water depth. The weed line (dark green to blue transition) still appears to be at ~12' of water depth. The weed line used to be between 16-17' of water depth.
