Spent the last week at the cottage -north east Pigeon Lake.
On arrival last weekend the water at the dock was like green pea soup.
The wind had concentrated the algae but all across the lake the algae was thick.
At least the top 12 inches of the water column.
Worse, in the calm bays, it looked like someone spilled torquoise paint into the water.
Light blue and green algae was sticking to rocks and wooden docks.
I'm guessing this is the dreaded bluegreen algae that is potentially toxic if ingested.
Notice no significant algae in Chemong, Buckhorn and Stoney lakes.
Anybody know anything about this? Without having all the facts, I'm concerned that the Bobcageon
sewage plant may have something to do with it, together with the 2 hot days we had a few days before.
Any thoughts?
