More on the Hopatcong Algae Bloom

Summer is high time for getting living in, and for many, this involves swimming, fishing, or other wet water sports on Lake Hopatcong, so the algae bloom is a serious inconvenience. If you planned on fishing there this summer, you know that if the algae persists through the rest of the summer, and you don't want to risk getting hit by spray or getting algae on your fingers from wet line, plenty of other places might be interesting in unexpected ways. Or if you can fish from a boat that won't get you wet when the wind riles up chop, you can always bring a bucket of clean water and use a wet rag to keep fingers clean of the stuff. If that's even a problem, really.
