One of my old fishing club lakes had for a few years in the 1990,s a problem with Blue algae and from what I know it is toxic.

 

The first thing when it appeared was to dispatch a number of Barley straw bales into the lake.

 

The lake was closed until the algae was cleared. sometimes up to two months.

Fishing seems to be my favorite form of loafing.

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

 

What do you think if the float does not dip, try again I think.
