Thread: green

Gooch ... to the best of my knowledge, Green River Lake does not have the blue-green algae problem. At least it hasn't made the news, as far as I know. According to this: http://lrl-apps.lrl.usace.army.mil/w...plots/grr.html Green has been fairly stable for the last 6 weeks, only coming up a foot or two recently.

As to why there's not been many, if any, reports being posted ... I'd have to guess that the heat, storm chances, and the "fun in the sun boating crowd" has many people holding off from going. This forum usually does get kind of quiet through the mid to late Summer period, but should start picking up in a few weeks.

Had 43 and 40 over the weekend bk pushin cranks. Water look like color of moss but fish wer still hungry.

Crappiepappy........I was at green yesterday............there are signs all over warning of the algae bloom at GRL....

Harmful to children and especially to pets....it even says on the sign not to eat the skin off the fish....

Was over Saturday watching t.slabseeker "school me". The water color to me looked like it had a red tint. Fried up filets Monday night - didn't affect the taste to me!!!! Only problem I had was the army of "weekend warriors" Thought I was on the high seas at times!! Can't wait for cooler weather .

Right you are, Rocketman ... I just hadn't heard any mention of GRL being affected. Here's what I did find, upon closer inspection :

Algal blooms at Green River Lake prompt recreation advisory | Naturally Connected It's dated 08/22/13 and I haven't been to GRL in months, and was just aware of the other 4 affected lakes ... having read about the algal bloom problem on other websites.

I was at Taylorsville, this past Sat., and did not see anything out of the ordinary. Well, other than there not being as many boaters as one would expect to see on a Sat. There seemed to be a 50/50 mix of boaters & anglers, even during the midday hours, when there would normally be a 70/30 mix (more boaters than anglers). The algal bloom was probably the main reason.

I finally got to go on Monday, first time all summer to Green. My buddy and I had twenty four keeps and caught mostly short fish all day. A great time!!! I had a grilled fish sandwich last night, tasted great to me too. The fish we were on were really hungry and feeding right in the middle of the channel in 20 feet of water about 15 feet deep. They were following around a school of shad. I didn't do any cranks, never done them yet but fished mostly drifting with minnows. Wouldn't hit my jigs for some reason, just wanted the minnows.

thanks too all, im gonna tryem this weekend.

Hope you're going to be fishing at night ... it's likely to be a madhouse during the day, seeing as how it's a long holiday weekend.
But, maybe the threat of thunderstorms and the algal bloom will cut down on the numbers of those boaters just out for one last hurrah ....

In any event, let us know how you do !!
