I also noticed over a dozen dead good sized trout floating not sure if they were released fish that didnt survive or had died due to water conditions.That is a typical water level for this time of year. Now the heat we are having is not at all typical. They were released with there guts ripped out. My dad is seeing no mortality fly fishing. He said there fighting hard and there going right back down during the release. In years past he has seen when there stressed from getting caught, but this year they are doing very well.
