Credit Courtesy of Panhandle Health District The Pandhandle Health District has detected toxins that are dangerous to human health in Fernan Lake.
According to a press release, toxins have been found across the entire body of water due to algal blooms. The dramatic increase in algae looks like thick green mats or scum in the water.
Health officials are urging people who recreate, or fish on the lake to be cautious and avoid exposure to the water. Toxins can’t be removed by boiling or filtration, and can contaminate fish caught in the lake.
Fernan Lake is the second Idaho lake this week to be put under a health advisory due to a toxic algal bloom. Hayden Lake was put under an advisory Tuesday.
Catch Me If You Can: 400,000 Rainbow Trout Occupy idaho Waters
The year is either just been flying by or we keep seeing Angler news. It feels like I ve written this a few times, but this is a big one.
Idaho Fish and Game just announced the deposit of over 400,000 rainbow trout across the Gem State. Grab a license, some worms, the family, and poles for some great fishing this Spring.
I don t want to say that technology has ruined those little things that we learned as kids. It makes me feel old when I say things like that. For instance, I would go outside and play catch with myself. It was easy to play basketball alone and pretend the game was ending with my final shot. Instead, it s Mario Maker on Nintendo Switch and Youtube kids in 2021.
