Default Calling Lake, Disgusting...

Just got back from trying out Calling Lake and boy oh boy was the algae nasty... If you were thinking of going there you should probably rethink your plans...

I only fished the south shore from the boat launch over to Volkswagen Point so maybe the north and west shores weren't too bad but everywhere I fished was pretty disgusting.

This is what the better spots on the lake looked like where I fished.



This is when things started getting a bit uglier.



And this was on the way back after the wind had blown this nasty crap in from somewhere. Smelled like a lagoon and I felt bad having my kayak in this crap...



Fishing was slow as one would expect in a heavy bloom like this.

Another thing that was disgusting was that the fish cleaning station which was overflowing and obviously has been neglected for some time now...

Anyways, like I say you are probably better off going somewhere(anywhere) else if you were thinking of trying Calling in the near future.
