[#0000FF]There are always algae spores present...in all waters. The blue-green algae...the one that produces the cyanotoxin...has its heaviest blooms when there is just the right combination of water temps, fertility and weather. This past year of heavier runoff and a warm summer brought a combination of more nutrients and higher temps that allowed the blooms to be greater than "normal".
Many Utah lakes have annual algae blooms, but they are often only the regular "green goo" stuff. It does seem strange that all of a sudden we are seeing more of the blue-green blooms. Must be aliens.
