Default Blue algae reports..... How is pigeon doing this year ?

I have not found any up to date info on google on which lakes have Blue Algae this year. Is there a site ? or do we need post our findings here .
I did find one , in the list it said Thunder lake has blue algae. But I was told by a co-worker it is clean.
Lets keep this list going.

Moose lake has had advisories every summer for a few years now. I fish it but I don't let my kids swim in it.

Garner Lake is another one that surprises me with the blue green. considering its only slightly Eutrophic. I guess there are several farms around.

Not only that but it's completely surrounded by farm land and at one time was used as a septic pump out. Nice view but I wouldn't pay to live there lol.
