Fish Kill on Lake Cumberland

[Duayne]

Figure the survival rate on the smaller fish is pretty darn good, especially when they are caught on the surface and released in under a minute. I would understand bigger fish being brought up from below dying...not the schoolies on top.

Guess that is why us sportsman pay to have them stocked....to fish for them.

Water quality ***** pretty bad right now. I'm with Andrew on this at this time. Normally it wouldn't be a bad thing to remove a few of the small ones. But with the larger classes taking major hits the last few years, every small one matters for the future. I wish to heck they used the smaller size limit when the water quality six as it does right now, instead of waiting for a major die off.

Not sure why you say the water quality is terrible right now...water temps in the low 80s isnt what i would call terrible...especially for the end of summer?
