i'm kinda surprised that they would increase the stocking to 3000 for such a small lake that gets fished hard. i fished this lake since i was 7 and stopped after i heard rumors of the farm nearby where the run off of man made farm products was draining into this lake and cause huge algae blooms. i am not sure how true this is or if there is any relation to that blue green algea but this made me very wary when i saw huge clumps of the rock snot looking algea and a few dead fish. i heard the farm is sitting at a slightly higher elevation then the lake and that's where the runoffs are naturally draining to.i normally treat fisherman's talk like this as just fisherman's talk but sometimes the visual sight and smell makes me wonder or maybe its just coincidence.
