Went fishing yesterday, been fishing this 10 acre lake 35 years. Rare to catch a fish, none on fish finder. Was in my small Bass Hunter, when got to bank, had to step out in edge of water (about a foot). Got home & my legs were burning, very uncomfortable, could not find anything that stopped burning. (happened last year, just thought I into poison ivy, no where near as bad. Funny things that I think about now- no fish/ typically great lake, water was crystal clear, has always been dingy The bottom if lake in shallow areas looked like copper. Typically lot of Canadian geese & ducks-- none ---have not been there since last time that similar happened. Any ideas

Could very well be pollution, also if this occurs this time of year you may have allergies. Our lake right now is covered with a yellowish film, this is pollen. I noticed the last time out one cove in particular the back end of the cove the bank around the cove was covered where wind had pushed it up. Could be?

I would contact your state wildlife people,(DEC,DNR, whom ever), and talk to them about it. They have info far beyond what we lay people have.

You might want to check with them anyway. What you're describing sounds like some sort of acid contamination which might involve toxic metallic elements.

Get a sample of the water and a small amount of bottom of pond silt and take to your State Lab. They will take appropriate steps once they know what the contaminent is.

Nah, Old age causes ED. 75 years doesn't slow the desire just the ability!
