[quote fsh4fun05] Just out of curiosity do you know if there were any tiger muskie that floated up?[/quote]
I just got the word from the project coordinator that, to her knowledge, no tiger musky were seen in the casualties, just bass, bluegill, carp, channel catfish and black bullheads.
They are quite confident that they achieved a complete kill. They had found a small section with live fish on Thursday, the day after the treatment, and they were able to put out a small amount of rotenone they had left over and by Monday they weren't able to detect any live fish. With the cold weather and the good winds we've had out here, it is believed that the rotenone will continue to mix throughout the reservoir and remain active for many more days thus continuing to kill any surviving fish there may be. Restocking will take place with a small number of bass and bluegill in early November then additional transplants in early spring 2019.
