I saw a large die off at Lake Fairfield tonight on TV. I am down in Aransas Pass and wondering if this has happened before at that Lake. It reminds me of why I left Lake Whitney. Too bad to see that some were the red fish which I believe that I saw in the picture.

So can TPWD give anyone an estimate on how many total redfish were in the lake to give us an idea of how big of an impact this will have--I mean was there 4000 reds, 40,000???

Brian Hughes--Texas Fishing aand Outdoors had one of the guides on this morning and said it wasn't as bad as it sounded. One off the guys that work for him said it has been happening for some time on the lake due to lower water levels.
