    I believe it came from the drought...
    was down there last Friday and Saturday and saw zero signs of it, however we have had tons of rain since it was first identified

    Was there today on the lower chowan. I saw some patches of it where the wind was pushing it around, not terrible though.

    Happens every year... and every year people freak out. And every year nothing happens....

    Enough.

    See you in 2020

    Been fishing the Perquimans river for over 30years and have never seen it as bad as it was this year. I suppose the recentrain has mitigated it. My club fished a tournament there at the height of thebloom and that stuff was nasty. I personally did not catch a fish in that greenwater. Had to fish areas where there was minimal algae to catch fish.
