(KNZA)--A public health advisory has been issued for the Brown State Fishing Lake, northeast of Robinson.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment said Thursday the lake is among 19 in the state on a “ watch” list due to the presence of blue-green algae.
Also on the list is Horton's Mission Lake and Lake Perry in Jefferson County.
KDHE says people are encouraged to avoid areas of algae accumulation at the lakes, and keep pets away from the water.
The agency says boating and fishing are safe, however direct contact with the water should be avoided.
You should clean fish well with potable water and eat the fillet portion only.
