WAY worser than FFS .....
Lake Welsh here is a really warm water lake , it generates power and gets super duper warm .....
fish have to run into the shallow heavy vegetation at the other end of it away from the generator 100 degree plus waters to survive it in the summer ......
I got a report and photos of some panfish that were in the legendary size way back up in the shallow water in all the matted up vegetation and WAS planning to go visit it .....the red ear were just beyond big .....
before I could even line it up ....here comes the vegetation control folks ! :yikes
They flat out created the holy you know biggest baddest trophy fish kill I ever seen .....just zillions of huge bass and bream and crappie all died in a very short period of time ....
the videos my bud sent me of it were so terribly disappointing ....
saw this done 20 plus years ago at another trophy fishery .....
sure is sad when mankind does this type of stupid stuff ...
some tried to say the lake turned over , but to be VERY sure it was the decaying vegetation and oxygen depletion created by the lets clean up all that mess in the back of the lake ....:banghead
this is a reminder to those of you that manage your own waters and or live in a hoa and want to control what mother nature is doing out there , best leave your hands off of the vegetation is the word ,,,,,:cheers2
