Whats in the water at Pommie???

[captzapp]

I was fishing at Pommie this past weekend. Looked in the water and it looked like thousands of jelly fish swimming around. What in the heck was I looking at???. No I wasn't drinking. They looked like the stuff you see on nature shows only the size of a quater, with white tennecles.

I have been told by the water patrol on Pomme that it is fresh water jelly fish. Which means that the water quality is excellant. No harm to humans as far as I know.

Where were you at on the lake? I've yet to see anything like that on our end. Fishing still good?

At least once a year someone comes into our office with one in a jar or glass wondering what the heck they are. Scientific name is Craspedaucusta sowerbyi (please don't deduct points for spelling). They are very common in Pomme and many other lakes. I have also seen them in Truman but never the numbers that pomme has. Type freshwater jelly fish into any search engine and you will find lots of info. Though they are non native they are certainly common anymore.

saw them up by the dam. I sure did the old double take when I saw them.
