That's what USEPA and the Dept of Health would call "Full Body Contact" and that should be avoided in areas that are known to be contaminated with these Amoebas.

There are rare but can be fatal as this story displays.

I'd think that fishing the lake would be ok as long as you don't drink any of the lake water. When you are swimming you are more likley to gup down some water and pick up these Amoebas in your mouth.
