Went down toward the 31E bridge past the state park on Barren yesterday afternoon and the water changed drastically. Not far past the state park, the water became green and had a layer of green scum on top. By the time I got to the 31E bridge the top 1/2 inch of water was like pea soup. My propwash boiled up looking like green kool aid, so the water was stained deeper than just the top.

Got my line stained green and every drop of the pea soup that got on my (freshly washed) boat dried to an armor plated green spot that took hard scrubbing to get off.

I've never been real anal about keeping my boat clean, but had to spend 15 minutes scrubbing after I took out to avoid the likelyhood of having permanent green stains.

Okay you biologists, what the heck is this stuff? Some kind of algae bloom? It reminds me of a stagnant little farm pond. Will it go away with today's rain and some moving water?

BTW, I showed the main lake water temps at 72 degrees!
