If you're near the sailing club, Rocks or dam you can probably hear it, if not see it. It is dangling a cable; attached to the cable are about 10 large round things and a more rectangular object above the round things. I haven't actually seen it lower the contraption into the water, but it is hovering in one place for a while, and is low enough that I can't see it over the trees. Then after a few minutes, it moves to a new spot.

This has been going on for about an hour now...

Could they be spraying for mosquitos or other bugs?

I would think that it's staying in one place too long to be spraying.
