Die Off at BBL Due to Drought

[Stinkbait]

Big carp die off...they say the carp don't move deeper as the water recedes from the drought. I say they are spawning and can't move do to instincts.

Well not exactly impressed by whoever wrote that article but beyond that what doesn't make sense to me is that it states they are netting and relocating the fish. Doesn't BBL hold tournaments every year to eliminate the carp? Why the heck would they net them and relocate them?

Is a carp die off really even worthy of anyone's time or energy?

That's no drought.

I wonder if Sklyer has an alibi.

Ok here are the facts. It was a carp die off, which since I do a lot of bow fishing I do care about. But!!!! The fish died on the other side of Stansfield Crossing in the marsh area, not in the main lake. It was due to low water levels but I don't shoot over there anyway since I am in a raised deck boat. They did not "net them and move them to deeper water" since they don't care about carp other than to want to get rid of them as much as possible in the main lake.

Ok that made much better sense!

Intersting... I'm heading up that way sunday... Not the marsh though. Camping at Green Valley Sat-Mon and gonna spend the day at big bear wetting a line...

I thought that "report" seemed funky. This is the update from Rim of the world with more detail.

I was up there Saturday with my son, we caught 7 and lost 2 more by about 10am. Most were tiny trout about 7 or 8 inches long, the typical DFG stocker that they plant these days, but we did catch a couple that were around 1lb. We were trolling between the observatory and the dam. It was fun until all the lake lice took over the lake. i would have thought it was mid summer, the lake was packed with boats.

I was up there over the weekend too. The area past Stanfield cut off is completely dry.
