Hey ya'll.. I was fishing on the elm fork of the trinity today. Just south of Hwy 380 in denton. (did pretty well, 1 5 lb cat, 1 3 lb cat, two small sand bass, and a nice drum). Ran into another guy there, he was fishing by the 380 bridge and said that one of the local news crews was out there filming a segment for the news because a lot of fish were trapped. They told him that a little further east where 380 goes over the greenbelt right by lake lewisville that fish were trapped. We drove over there and you could see a large amount of dead carp and some bass floating.. If i were to guess I would say you could see at least a couple hundred dead fish washing ashore there. Anybody know what happened? From where they were there was water all the way to the lake... so they didnt seem trapped. I wonder what gives.. Sorry for such a long post

anyone?

TPWD stated that when the water rose/receded last week it trapped a huge number of fish in that pond. Essentially they suffocated because there are to many fish for the limited amount of oxygen. They did say it was primarly rough fish. I am sure you could get on the TPWD website and there should be more info.

cool thanks.. yep it looked like mostly large carp, with a few others thrown in.. most of them were around one size too.

Yep, What RTL said.
