If the Western Kentucky Biologist reads this site, or someone has frequent contact, what is going on with the large fish kill in the Little River Area, Dryson Bay (Party Bay)? Large numbers of drum, mixed with some crappie, white bass and bream, again majority appear to be smaller drum? Not good. Anyone else seeing the amount of dead fish around the area?
I'm up the lake at eddy creek and have been out the last couple days and I haven't seen any fish kill up this way.
I was out yesterday morning there were more than I could count, but tonight the bay was covered up with dead fish, took the boat out to see what they were and unfortunately it is a mixture of fish.
Something very similar happened last year, but most of the fish last year were yellow bass. I seen the dead fish one day and then read about it the next week on WHOP, don’t hold me to this but I believe it had to do with something like turnover/ low oxygen at a certain depth ???

Can you let me know your findings after taking a look at this? Just walked up from the dock and banks, Bass, Gar, White Bass, Shad, Bluegills mixture of everything, not good.
I would be interested to know the results as well.

I will try to let you know if possible. Fish kill investigations can sometimes turn into legal issues.
Again thanks for all you do out here in Western, KY. I just felt I had an obligation to report issues such as this and we all should be good stewards of our fragile eco systems. We are fortunate to have some of the greatest fresh water lakes East of the Mississippi. Thanls

There have been a lot of dead asian carp floating down the Cumberland from Barkley for the past couple of days.
Not much better yesterday, large dead population of different species
I fished from Kuttawa Harbor all the way to the Barkley dam on the East side of the lake and never spotted any dead fish. I must report, the fishing stunk. Hopefully the big bluegills and redear come up shallow this week.
This appeared to be in one bay only. There were 100’s of dead fish. Mostly drum and stripes.
