    Not an uncommon sight for Wilhelm this time of the year. Dimes to doughnuts they hit the lake with herbicide(s) to kill the weeds. In two weeks the biologist will issue a report telling us it was a sudden change in the water temperature that shocked the fish which lowered the fishes immune sytem allowing water born bacteria to kill the fish.

    Were most panfish (bluegills & crappie)? If yes, post spawn stress.

    Maybe shad. There seems to be a die off of them every spring, too. Was out there a couple weeks ago and there were thousands of them splashing around in the shallows.
