Lake Pardee is also good for kokanee, trout, and bass. Is a non contact
lake, so just fishing.

Curious, what's a non contact lake?

A non-contact lake is a lake where water cannot be ingested -
basically a no swimming, no beach, no take lake for fishing, no
incidental contact.

Here in New England, lakes can be placed in no-contact status if there
is a problem with algae, rock snot, weed reduction - stuff like that.

Not sure what creates a non-contact situation in LaLa Land.

Rock snot, now there's a problem. It's already documented in the Upper
Delaware and Connecticut watersheds. From there ... I've read a little
about it. It seems one drop of water is enough to carry it to another
stream. Unfortunately, it seems fishermen might be the culprit, felt
soles and all.

Lower units also - it's becoming a real problem in some of the lakes
around here.

Somebody has come up with a way to roll the mat and remove it, but
it's very labor intensive and only seems to work with streams - lakes
it would be impossible.

Water district lake, that does not allow swimming or wading. The deer, and
cows grazing and the birds can all swim and defecate in it. Odd thing is
the lake below it is used also for drinking water, and it allows contact and
skiing.
