"OAK HARBOR, Ohio — Thick mats of algae spreading across western Lake Erie in recent weeks appear to be pushing one of the region's most-prized sport fish to flee, forcing some charter boat captains to cancel trips. At least one told out-of-state visitors hoping to catch walleye to stay home for now.
Fishing guides who make their living on the lake say this year's algae bloom is quickly rivaling the worst they've seen in past years.
'There are places out there where it looks like you're running through green mud,' said Bob Witt, who runs a fleet of charter boats east of Toledo."
