I grew up on toltec and when I was a kid we had minimal MF in front of our house...now if you go over there its like lees mills!. We are talking deep water too. It seems this stuff is getting more prolific and established. It has been the scurge of fresh water environments for a century or more in the usa..yet another painful economic problem we can thank the far east for. The state does nothing to ensure this stuff does not migrate (like no rafting zones or even no GO zones) Massachusetts does nothing to educate the public about sharing invasive species at its public ramps either. (except for the Quabbin) With the lake and the water quality being the number one economic driver of the lakes region.. I would think this issue would be tackled at the state level (google: clear lake in california) this could become something that hurts the state forever and tanks our local economies for the long haul. We dont want that lake to be "eewww" people are wimps nowadays, and will never come back once they get attacked by the MF... It is bad enough now in Paugus bay in August with the bacteria making the papers and people sick (I was one of them)
