I went to Steele Creek Park on Lake Whitney to do some banking today. Found gold tinged water, a few dead fish including catfish, and some sick gar with blood red beaks. Looks like this warm weather is sent us some early golden algae.

If you didn't you need to call the Game Warden.

I contacted TPWD Kills and Spills team. They did not seem to be concerned with the small number of fish I saw and said they were not going to come out. I really don't think she believed me. It is the wrong time of year. but it has been a warm winter.

I believe a number of 'small' fish kills as a result of algae blooms are just par for the course these days. Of course, they all have the potential to produce devastating results, although most don't.

Still, I will be praying this one doesn't spread.

i live here and i saw 25-30 flatheads dead from 25-65 lbs

doesn't sound like prime time for catching some eaters
