I’m sure these pictures have been seen by most…… before the lake came back up just a bit.

And then this last one is very curious to me. Does this look like Asian carp? or adult shad?

:yikes, wow really sad for sure.
Thanks for sharing. I wonder if the other reservoirs are susceptible to the same problems with them all being approximate same age? I'm sure the COE are checking them close.
Sure doesn't look good
Look like big gizzard shad to me.

Could be Asian carp.
I was talking with Mike the game warden when a helicopter came in and got a large pot of water and headed over the dam. What the heck? Forestry service practicing drop patterns for fire fighting. I wonder how many Asian carp just got dumped in the lake? He got in his truck and made a call. When they came back he told them to leave on the bull horn.
I've seen it spelled different way, Arkabutla, Butla, Butler and now Butta
If you're in the area today, midday stop by the south abutment swim beach area for a meet and greet.
When were these pictures taken?
I skipped a few days on my calendar. 6/11 200 ft, 6/14 197 ft. Afternoon and evening rains on 6/15 brought the lake up to 205 ft on 6/16. 203 ft today. All the photos on a few facebook groups I saw started showing up 6/15 afternoon. Videos of floating fish downstream at different bridges showed up 6/16. I drove across the dam at lunchtime yesterday, didn't look like the photos.
