Are you collecting fish, or just test strips?
You've infected me with the Test Bug. For the past year or so I have tested every natural body of water I have visited for fishing, collecting, etc. and it is pretty interesting; my fishing buddies just think I have continued my slow...or no-so-slow...slide into dementia, but they're all pretty weird as well, so...
I spent the whole day on the ice yesterday, and tested water in the hole mid-day. Results as expected, very similar to my well-water at home, hard slightly-alkaline water (zero ammonia/nitrite/nitrate which bodes well for my current collecting experiments. I looked up from peering at the vials...no strips for me!...to find my fishing partner staring at me with an expression that I can only describe as "horrified bemusement".
