I'm not a speSorry suckert either, but have spoken at length with biologists about this issue, as my local lake had blooms also. It's a hot weather thing, especially if there's a lot of sun.  Assuming no other water quality issues, your fish should be fine to eat.

I would like to see the test results on the fish liver, I know we don't eat the liver but if it's in there, it's got to be in the meat we eat.  When the state tells you to only eat 1 meal per week, then that should give you a red flag. btw 4 ounces is considered a meal.

The state says the fish are OK to eat.  Even Lake Erie fish have some warnings on number of meals to eat.  Water looks good during winter, better than Laromie this year.  The state tested flesh in crappie for toxins and found none from fish in the late spring.
