I've been out on both Liberty Lake and Newman Lake this week (9/4/06) and was surprised by the water conditions. The water was green in color (were the round floaters algae?) and there were giant "slicks" of what appeared to be pollen? It was varying colors of yellow, green & brown. Maybe it's fire retardant that was dropped from a plane and has blown downwind?

I wasn't on the water much this time last year so don't know if it's just a seasonal thing or not.

Also, any advice on if the fishing is any good when the visibility appears to be so poor?

Thanks guys!
