Meridian Weeds/Algae Problem

[cjrodarme]

So I was out bass fishing on Lake Meridian a couple days ago, just to find that half of the docks and a lot of cover is engulfed by these large, cloudlike tufts of green seaweed/algae. It seems to attach to about anything that it can, docks, lilypad stalks, etc, It grows from off of the bottom going up, and the plants can be several feet in size, both height and width. Does anyone know what this strange plant is, and if it will go away?

It's been there for as long as I can remember. Gets worse in summer alot worse.

I live on Meridian, and this is something I've never encountered at this level before. In summer the weeds do get worse, but I don't usually see this kind in that time

Was there last week. Didn't seem too bad. Did see the layer of slime/algae throughout. Ive seen it much worse there, but then, its still early in the season.

Was there today for the first time in years. Didn't seem bad at all did find a few big algae balls though.

Dont worry, if they follow the same plan they have for Lake Stevens, they will alum the lake soon to kill the fish and food. Pretty sure they think that will cure the algae problem. Sigh

Its cleared up by now, it just must be a seasonal thing. I usually dont get out that early in the year but we've had exeptional weather. I highly doubt they would kill of Meridian
