I am glad I haven't been fishin since August 29 because that kept me from seeing and smelling all those dead fish. That would have been pretty scary and depressing. Saw a few back on the 29th but they were scattered. Looks like things have changed for the better. There is O2 down to 35 feet down by the dam and across from low gap island (those are the only readings I saw) and the water temp down there is about 78 degrees. The readings on this date are very similar to last year on this date. For a while this year got worse than last with no O2 below 23 feet but for the most part this year has been the same or slightly better than last.

See a recent report.
