In my small troutwater today are two or three strange looking 'clumps' of an algae the colour and form of which can best be described as floating bluey-green mop-heads, the filaments of which resemble the strings of the mop. This is not a surface bloom such as is usually referred to in news articles of the blue-green algae 'scare' type. Has anyone any idea what this may be or know if I should do anything about it?

Hi Richard

Don't think I've seen anything like what you are describing. Can you take a photo and post it, so we can have a look and try to help?

Best wishes
Mike

yea best thing to do is take a photograph!!! it could be something which has floated to the surface or maybe some one is making a mess of the place there is loads of reasons but you deffinatly need a photo
