Is Pomme closed

[Bassin4fun]

Yeah, I fished Pomme earlier in the year or maybe it was late last year. At any rate, the weather was unseasonably warm for a bit and I recall seeing algae bloom in the water. I haven't been back since. If the water is cloudy with that green-blue tint floating around...it is a good idea to avoid it. It is very unfortunate. I suspect that as the temps go up, it will eventually burn out...seems that is what happened last summer. I haven't seen this at Table Rock, Bull Shoals, or even Stockton. I don't fish Stockton or Bull Shoals as much as I do Table Rock. The ramps I like to use at Stockton and Bull Shoals are about a half hour (or more) further away than several at Table Rock.

It showed up shortly before memorial day weekend last year and burned out by late June.  Kind of like the path it is on now.  You wouldn't have seen it last fall.

Is there an update on the situation? I have heard the beaches are back open, does it seem safe to allow young kids and dogs back in the water??

Thanks

Hasn't been any concentrations serious enough to be feasible to test.  Advice given is to evaluate the water before entering, if it smells funny, or looks like green paint in the water stay out. Too many factors to predict it well, water clarity, temp, sunlight, wind.  One thing I did discover by Google-ing, level of the  toxins declared harmful to humans is 8.0 PPB and level declared harmful to dogs is 0.80 PPB.
