Thread: Sacks of eggs or somethign on stumps/trees at Sardis

Most likely frog eggs.

I see this post about every year. Since it's been a year I don't remember much of the explanation. Here it goes. Those are a colony of organisms. They naturally occur in our lakes. They are round because of fish feeding on them.

Somebody throw me a line here please. The state site had the explanation last year in the weekly report during summer months.

Yes sir, they are down right strange or of alien like peculiaritie.. I chalk it up to water logged conifers.. sacks are just resin encased water balloons in my opinion. Course I'm just speculatinn'... I know little on the subject..

It starts with a C I think. And your explanation is right on. The are a organism that grows in the water and attaches themselves to sticks and twigs. The longer they are under water the larger they get. Usually see more of them when they start the draw downs.
