Happens every year during this time due to low oxygen levels it's mostly Tilapia's and gills dead all around but still lake stinks .

Yup, tuNER nailed it, low oxygen, happens every year around this time, some years are worst than others.

I'm trying to get some time off so I can go on the 1st and 2nd. If anyone has a report I would appreciate it. If it’s going to be bad I would rather go on down to Choke.

Rex, I was out there Sunday in what seemed to be the apex of the kill and people were still catching fish. Other people I've spoken to have been catching since Sunday. You should be good.

Thanks. I just got my vacation approved so looks like we're on for it. We will be out there next Thursday so I hope it's cleared up by then.

I was out there today, still some dead fish, but not like two weeks ago. Cats were biting good, released a 23 pounder and a 17.
