Liked TD post.
I wouldn't hesitate, myself. The science on Mantua is less conclusive that these blooms really occur, although they're pretty sure they have. They are not as large or widespread and don't last as long.
However, toxicity of fish to humans disappears shortly after the bloom does, and the blooms don't really happen in winter. In Utah Lake fish I've been eating fish as soon as the weather cools appreciably (Late Sept, or so), as long as the advisories weren't still up.
