Fish kills

[PBUG2009]

Whats up with all these lakes? Is it like this every year? I just find it strange that lakes everywhere are having this problem. Have they fond the common link in this yet?

All the fish-kills ive seen and heard about near me were water temp related. A rapid rise in temp is hard on fish, lethal to some. Also, during drought or low water conditions, some small flowages/creeks/rivers can stagnate, and oxygen drops to much. Nearly every year as the water turns over(thermocline) at my home lake, you can find stripers dead washed up, some years just a few, some years a scary number. Also got to see a tailwater stagnate last year, everything died, kinda ugly, extremely smelly, very sad.

This recent one in PA doesnt sound natural, and odd they didnt mention any other dead fish other than crappie.

I think that's what they are saying here in Ohio,

Temps killed many here at Pymatuning Ohio. I have a thread on this in the Ohio section.

I think they are offing them selfs before it warms up enough for me to troll crankbaits.......they know the impending doom thats coming.....or maybe they made a bad deal w/the russian mob.....but my scientific guess is the 1st option :rolleyes:.......been a weird year temp wise here, but still prob the 1st guess.....
