Last week I did a recon trip to see if I could find any evidence of a die off and I'm happy to report that I couldn't find any floaters or dead fish in the reeds. I really think that the fish just retreated back into the river channel to ride it out and will be back in the normal spots this year. I could be wrong, but I hope not. It just makes no sense that they would die off without just moving into the channel. If the water would have dropped instantly, like within hours I could see it happening though. Also some of the shallow backwater ponds and sloughs could have been hurt by it.
