[quote bigdaddy84094]O, wow. Fish kill ? I sure hope not, to bad it wasn't something that is only harmful to the carp(kinda put their numbers in check). BD84094[/quote]
[#0000FF]If you wanna know how bad that stuff can be, review all the recent news on the algae bloom in [url "http://fox13now.com/2016/03/25/fish-kill-in-florida-heartbreaking-images-seen-for-miles/"]FLORIDA[/url]. (link) Started in fresh water and killed tons of fish. Migrated out to sea and can be seen from space. It started about the same way ours did...excessive phosphate nutrients from ag and municipal inflows into Lake Okeechobee. When large amounts of that water were released into other waterways the algae went crazy.
I experienced how bad it can be the last year I lived in Arizona. TubeBabe and I often fished a small cove on Saguaro Lake, near Phoenix. But one morning we launched to find no fish on sonar and no visible fish activity on the surface...not even carp. And the foul smell we noticed turned out to be thousands of dead freshwater clams that had died, bloated up and floated to the surface. A call to AZ fish and game confirmed it was an algae bloom problem the previous week. Anything that did not leave that cove...and a couple of others...died. And it took over two years for the ecology to start to come back.
