A local swimming spot was among the things lost in flooding that occurred in the Yukon's Klondike Valley last month. Where there was once a constructed lake and beach, there's now a rushing river.
Over the last several weeks the algae bloom has ranged from significant covering the surface of the lake in many places to today seeing patches of the bloom here and there on the surface. It can also be observed below the surface near the shoreline.
People in Fort McPherson, N.W.T., have been picking up the pieces after last month's flood on the Peel River. CBC's Dez Loreen spoke to Bill Prodromidis, whose family cabin was among those washed away.
The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife said the fish are yellow perch, which are common in the lake.

The state transportation department said there was water over a portion of the Glenn Highway on Monday, but the road remained open.
