Went with the family yesterday to Kanopolis. We fished maybe a couple hours and caught a little of everything. As for the KDWPT's fishing report, I don't know that I would trust it! All species we caught had the "infection", I've seen it before, it grows on the outside inward to the muscle. My guess is it went all the way through. It's NOT from handling/releasing the fish, I've seen it almost every summer since the 90's, this year it's just bad, plain GROSS. It looks like scaley hamburger on their sides above the ribs, the whole rib cage. In the 90's we cleaned some whites with this and it was also in the meat. This is the worst I've seen yet, it's a recurring infection and I'm somewhat concerned with the DOWN-PLAYING of this epidemic. It's listed as bacterial/viral in nature. Well, I'm sorry but it can't be both, might as well throw fungal in there too. What is it!? Does it cross the genetic line? I'd bet money it's a man-made infection, maybe a hatchery disease, kinda like dogs get kennel cough. My thinking now is maybe we ought to combine the KDHE with KDWPT so we can get some answers. There are immunocompromised people out there that might become ill from this, maybe even the State Park Mgr. It's a meandering problem, but the answer shouldn't be. You might not think this problem involves you, but the Smoky is the head waters of the Kansas River. Who knows, it might spread down-stream and involve the Asian carp species, which I doubt, since they arrived via sewage lagoons. Just some thoughts, I really don't like being a mushroom, do you.
