Without more data, I am not sure that anyone could be an expert on this one. If the fish were 12", they were not recent plants, the state has this habit of planting 9.25" fish this time of year.
The heat spell we are in could indeed be causing an oxygen problem. We went to high heat very fast and if it created a shallow thermocline, that might explain it. I sure hope not. The first good wind should and may already have busted up a shallow thermocline and a new one will develop deeper.
Lost creek is suppose to be 67% full, so with the depth we should still have more than enough cold water.
This is concerning, but I fear it is the first of many such reports this year to come out.
