Dead fish floating in Dale Hollow Lake

[Fishin is life]

Ok, think of this on a smaller scale, Is it easier to keep one fish alive in your live well during the summer or 5. Each and everything that removes any parts per milllion of dissolved o2 from the water contribute to the balancing act !!!!!

It's not that there's not enough dissolved O2 in the water, it's that the fish don't find it....As the water heats up down deep, the thermocline, and dissolved oxygen levels push up in the water column....Fish like smallmouth, walleye, and stripers that aren't really meant to live in water as warm as our water gets in the summers....They want to go deep to find the cooler water, but there's no oxygen down there...Whether it be that they're too hard headed or not smart enough to move up in the water column...In the 0-20ft depth range there's enough dissolved O2 to sustain all the fish in the given lake 1000's of times over
