| Alright, I know this topic has been discussed a bit, but I thought I remember seeing that the algae bloom usually occurs in late August or early September. I am looking at booking a trip to LOTW August 22-29 and am wondering what the odds are that the algae bloom will be occuring then and what effect that will have on the fishing?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

| What part of LOTW do you want to fish? You can stay in area's that will have little to no bloom that time of year...last year there was no bloom. |

Location: Warroad, Mn | In most of the dark water areas of the lake in late August there is an algae bloom.
Chances are around 85% algae, 12% less algae, 3% no algae. The Trout water areas of LOTWs don't really get an algae bloom.
It's still very possible to catch fish, just harder.

| Well if you stay @ Flag island resort say hi to Dan for me - and yes you will most likely be running many miles to "cleaner" water from Flag late Aug. |

| I am not that familiar with this algae bloom, but I will be staying at Young's Wilderness Lodge on Aug 29 - Sept 3. Does anyone know if this area of LOW will be affected by the bloom? |

Location: Warroad, Mn | Yes, But sometimes Steven's and Stony Portage Bays aren't hit as hard. Once you get into Sabaskong expect to find algae.
