Algae Reports?
Everybody always seem to want fishing reports from all the different lakes, so let's do something a bit different.
With all the unseasonably warm temps so far this June, I suspect we may see a lot of more algae blooms developing earlier than normal. So,,,,Why not start a thread giving reports on algae conditions?
I'll start,,,
On the weekend, Moose Lake was blooming,,, shoreline areas were getting pretty thick depending on the wind direction. Other areas mid lake were not too bad yet.

Yep, same just from past Wednesday, still fine. It might have been warm in June but the overnight temps have been largely single digit for the past two weeks. No real hot spells since then. Should be a fine year.

I was there Wednesday evening and they have the blue/green warning sign up and the green slick was starting to build up around the boat launch. Won't be long and it'll be thick and stinky just like last year.

Hmm, well AHS only issued the advisory yesterday, so things may have changed I guess

There are starting to be lots of neon blue gobs of algae showing up. Rock Island is also turning pretty green.

I fished Pigeon yesterday and today. Today actually circled the entire lake on a "cottage tour". I was surprised how much thicker the algae was today compared to yesterday. I didn't see any sign of BGA yet, but I'm confident it will soon be here as well. On a positive note, the algae hasn't affected the fishing at all!

Pigeon is getting thick in places. Fishing On the 29th was slow. While cruising around to cool off , we noticed a few dead whites floating around.

Off topic but pine coulee has to be the worst managed reservoir around. Between the walleye waste of time and the terrible water levels, it is super frustrating.
