Well, for anyone curious I fished near Buck Island today and saw what a full on algae bloom is. No fish. Saw a few carp cruising and saw a monster one turn away as I got close by. Fished about 3 hours with mostly a worm. Talked to an old timer at Cedar Bay and he said fishing had been good for rainbows. He hadn't seen any perch this year. The depth was very consistent at around 12'-13'' and it was down a bit but not to bad. I am going to have to read up on the algae blooms but don't think it can make fishing all that good. Seems it would mess with the oxygen. Next time I think I will try where Poison Creek and th eBlackfoot River come in. Nice quiet place for sure and nice scenery so will definately go back. Anyone with any past experience here that wants to chime in I woulld sure listen
