Interesting statement, not disagreeing at all, I’m a former fish farmer and a current Agricultural Farmer here in Arkansas. While fish farming we worked with trying to control Blue Green Algea almost constantly, it exists in nearly all warm water lakes and ponds at most times just not at dangerous levels. I’m from the southwest part of Arkansas and not familiar with Lake Overcup, does it receive lots of agricultural runoff? As a farmer I try to use soil fertility practices that minimize fertilizer leaching and runoff simply because if it’s in a stream, lake, or river it’s not available to my crops. Unfortunately there are times especially with these heavy rainfall events, like this spring, that runoff and leaching do occur even on the most well managed operations.
