Bridgewater Tailrace - filamentous algae
I'm forwarding this to you as FYI, but also as it may be influenced by hydro operations or may influence water quality
monitoring that is part of license /CRA /401 requirements.

Ed, I hope all is well.
I'm not sure of the appropriate contact at DWR, but I wanted to see if you have heard anything about unusual algae
within Bridgewater Tailrace below Lake James? I received a call from an avid angler on Friday that stated he saw a lot of
long, filamentous algae within the tailrace from Muddy Creek down. He was very concerned as he has never seen this
before in his years fishing there. He stated the water column was so inundated that you could make 6 casts at most
before you had to clean all of your gear. We've never seen or heard of this either, so I wanted to touch base with you to
see if you or anyone within your office were familiar with this?
Take care and thank you.
Jake
