Henrys Lake

[brownleech]

It has happened in the past during the 1980's and 1990's when the lake looked like split pea soup, but it was never declared toxic by the State. It probably was, but it was no big deal. It usually happened when the lake remained near full for several years as it has the last four or five years. Didn't fish it much as the sinking fly lines would float on top of the algae.

Many years the algae stayed on the surface until the lake froze over, making for some very green ice. What will this do to the ice fishing? Don't know - back then the season closed on October 31.
