3/17/2016 4:19:00 PMThanks for the report. Any day now someone will post an American Lake kokanee pic and people will flock. We tried American Lake a few weeks ago and there was a bunch of lake scum on the water near the VA Hospital. Reports of a toxic algae bloom within the last year had us off the water pretty quick for fear of the dogs drinking the water and getting sick. Is that gunk on top still the case? Our fly lines were coated in the stuff. Did manage to C&R a few big holdovers on that trip but American lake might be off my kokanee/trout radar this year.

3/17/2016 11:56:00 PMI have not heard or seen any lake scum or toxic algae bloom on the water minus the heavy tree pollen build up in May/June. Spanaway Lake gets the bloom a lot, but American Lake to my knowledge has never had a toxic algae bloom.

High beam flashed a LW Police motorcycle four blocks from Murry -gave info- and hope they were still there when he showed up, lol.
Yes, there was scum sticking to my lines (2 pole lic.) since last month, and last time. Big globs floating like grenades in the water, lots of branches and even a few 3/4 submerged logs (3-4'), glad I was rowing.
