(KNZA)--A public health advisory remains in place for two Brown County lakes due to the presence of blue-green algae.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment, in conjunction with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, announced Thursday that the Brown State Fishing Lake, northeast of Robinson, and Pony Creek Lake, north of Sabetha, remain 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
