Burns Run East and West swimming beaches closed at Lake Texoma


Jul 23, 2012


The Corps of Engineers, Lake Texoma office has temporarily closed Burns Run East and Burns Run West designated swimming beaches due to high levels of Blue-green Algae. Test results from samples taken July 17 at Burns Run East showed blue-green algae cells counts in excess of 1.5 million cells per milliliter of water and results from samples taken at Burns Run West on July 20 showed blue-green algae cell counts in excess of 1.3 million cells per milliliter of water. As a precaution, the Corps has closed the designated swimming beaches in these areas. The closure only pertains to the designated swim beaches.Alan Mitchell

But I am hearing from guides that are saying the fishing is better than ever there! I have read, "topwater blitzes, all day long, 20-24 inch fish," and more great reports. Are these blue-green outbreaks highly localized?
