Default toxic blue-green algae bloom

Has anybody ever heard of this? They closed down a lake in Utah because of it...

It has killed like 13 head of cattle.
I don't think this is a good state for fishing, Unless you like to trout fish.

UTAH,
There have been several lakes in Kansas, Okla & Texas that have had this toxic alge problem, that I have heard of.

Im not sure, but it is only poisonous during the bloom. The article didn't say if it hurt the fish... Does anybody know if it would?

UTAH,
It is only toxic during the bloom, and it does not seem to hurt the fish. But I would not eat any of the fish I catch. I am not sure I would even fish the waters for fear of getting the alge started in another lake.
