Lake Winnipeg and algal blooms

This morning Naomi, Walt, Tanya and I were out with Bruce and Linda Benson to look first hand at the fishing on Lake Winnipeg. We did not see algal blooms today, but we sure heard about them. Bruce reports that the algal blooms cover his nets almost like a carpet at times. The NDP have now been in power for six years, but the situation appears worse not better. To date they have not been very effective in addressing the future of Lake Winnipeg. In the first photo, I am pulling out a fish net with Bruce Benson. In the second photo, I am standing with Bruce and Linda at Silver Harbour.
