Comments | "Two years ago we found GS in Lakes Aberdeen and Columbus on the Tenn-Tom waterway in NE MS. It was found again in these lakes last year. The 2 reservoirs (Aliceville and Gainesville) just south of Lake Columbus are right across the state line in AL. These reservoirs had major GS problems last year; Gainesville actually had blockages at a boat launches that prevented access." |
