Walleye die off in Dale Hollow

[ROVERBOY]

Has anybody heard about this? A friend texted me and told me about it. About 260 have been found so far. From what I can gather, it's mainly in the Mitchell Creek and Horse Creek areas.

That sucks. That's about the only time I fish much anymore is when the walleye spawn up the river in the spring.

drought year, low flows and more pronounced thermocline lessening DO on bottom.

That's bad. Hopefully there won't be any bass found or other game fish.

It was starting when I was there second week of august. We saw several like that in the dam area, but we also caught a few in the same area. The trout fishing was really slow compared to when we were there in June and what it is usually like in September. There were a ton of fish stacked on the thermocline.
