(KNZA)--A public health advisory has been lifted for Horton's Mission Lake, while two other Brown County lakes remain under advisories due to blue-green algae.

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, announced Thursday that Pony Creek Lake, north of Sabetha, and Brown State Fishing Lake, northeast of Robinson, are under " watch" status.

For lakes under " watch" status, KDHE says people are encouraged to avoid areas of algae accumulation and keep pets away from the water.

Boating and fishing are safe.  However, you should clean fish well with potable water and eat the fillet portion only
