If visibility gets below a foot, you have to worry about a fishkill occurring. So that's "too dense a bloom."

I've had some really good tasting CC and a couple bad tasting CC from the pond, without being able to correlate a reason why. Soaking fillets in water for a day or so before cooking (or freezing) helps let "bad" flavors rinse out, IMO. SInce I started doing this, I haven't eaten a "bad" CC.
