yeah that is tough. I bet it will take 3-5years for it to bounce back(if there are no more fish kills) depending on the stocking schedule. That stinks.

Dewayne is one of my front runners for the finest example of Texas honor and hospitality. Whether it was good or bad for him Dewayne would tell you the truth!

You could have searched his prior posts and known this before you asked your question.

Sounds like the rotting bio mass is still dragging the overnight DO down to killing levels. Since the reds will hit cut bait, any survivors will still be eating the rotting flesh of the prior kills. Red and Cat fishing will be difficult until that rotting flesh is gone, and low overnight DO does not ptoduce a fresh kill and the overnight DO will drop to low numbers until the extra Biomass is digested.

It has been my experience the Tilapia can handle the loweest DO of all the lake specie. Did you see many un-rotted (freshly killed) Tilapia in the floaters you saw?

I was wondering about the talapia population. We were thinking about going bowfishing? Anyone know how much their population was reduced?

Did you see the pictures? It looks like all of it.
