Drove out to Cottage lake yesterday to fish for a few hours. The lake had a toxic algae warning and the water definitely showed signs of it. Water looked like a bowl of pea soup with clumps of algae floating in it. Since my husband and I drove all the way out there we decided to go ahead and do a little fishing anyways. Trolled for trout for awhile without any luck. Decided to try a little jigging. Caught a few perch and my husband caught a nice crappie. All were released to live another day.
