No Swimming at Texoma
What's the word on the algae on Texoma? Heard on the news that they are posting no swimming signs for the western sections and "strongly discouraging" swimming for the rest of the lake.
That bites for the long weekend.

Yeah.......I think its a little overblown IMO. I really haven't heard about a lot of people showing up sick at hospitals over this. We boat on the eastern side - closer to the damn anyways. I'm continuing my labor day plans, but will make an extra effor to keep my baby girl from drinking the water
Are you goint to be there? Anybody else going to Texoma for Labor Day? Should be easier to find you since half the lake is under an algea warming.

No, we'll be on Lewisville, but several of us are looking to plan a trip up there later in Sept for a few days.

Bert we planned on going to Texoma this weekend either Sat. thru Mon or Sun - Mon. We launch in at Newberry Creek in Mead OK. My friend owns that Marina.
I heard that some parts of the lake is closed and it is strongly advised not to swim because of the algae. I'll find out tomorrow whats the scoop at Texoma. We might change our plans and head to PK if that is true about no swimming.
How is the water conditions and levels at PK ?

We dealt with the same stuff over 4th of July weekend here in Oklahoma.. Didn't slow our group down at all.. They can't force us not to swim.. We just kept on gettin on!
Don't swim in stagnant water, don't drink lake water, its pretty obvious!

I'm not sure PK is the place to go with the nasty fire they have going down there. I expect they will have it under control by the weekend, but I would call and check to be sure everything is opened back up before heading down.
We'll be on Lewisville, probably on the edge of party cove. We don't get in the middle of it, too many idiots that don't have a clue what a fender or anchor are for.
