The tag number was 77. Another silver that was tag number 75 was found below KY Dam last week. They were from the same school that was tagged together. Solid proof they are migrating UP the river system. There is some kind of bacterial infection that is killing a bunch of silvers. Kudos to who or what made that happen since it doesn't seem to be affecting other fish.
Oh that sounds like bad news to me. These things are destroying the whole river system.
