We rode over to the Barkley Dam yesterday afternoon and there were thousands upon thousands of Asian Carp that were belly up. My wife noticed what appeared to be thousands of them as we were on the blue bridge going into Lake City. You could see them floating under the bridge.
I turned left and went to the lock and did a short video but I'm unable to load it for some reason.
readear, This is good news if it was only Asian Carp. (less fish to lock through to the lake) Hopefully, someone from our Kentucky Fish and Wildlife will be looking into this. Hope you find a way to post the video.
If you want to post a video .... you will have to put it on YouTube first, then post the link to it. At least that's my understanding.
I think that is what the Boss said, also.Quote:

Thanks for the info, Pappy
Did they get the bends like that one time before? I remember one year we had a huge kill due to them getting the bends below the dam.
Then a year or two later we had a huge die-off above the dam from them basically starving to death due to a mild winter and them using up all their fat reserves prior to the spring plankton population ramping up for the year.
An Asian Carp kill is always a good thing, well, other than the smell that comes later. Good time to be a turtle. :)
Getting to be about a yearly thing. I'm thankful for it.
I Hope we have one and it Kills them all! Talk about a mess to clean up! But it would be worth it!
