The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality has determined that cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) have released toxins at dangerous concentrations around the lake. At these concentrations they can be toxic to animals including dogs and livestock. Water contaminated with these toxins can also be poisonous to humans. Thus consider washing hands with clean water after such actions as releasing fish, handling lines or nets, getting out of wading gear and before eating, all after being in the lake.
Fishing success remains slow. Improvement will come after spells of cold, unsettled weather take place.
