EWEST - They seemed to be skinney and they appeared to be the smaller of the stocked fish. But its hard to tell. I also wondered about not eating for a cause of death.
Dr. Willis- I agree about the O2 not likely the cause. I will know for sure about the O2 once a place a trap and start catching or not catching BG,BCP,YP.
If lack of O2 is not the reason,I have a hypothesis but have no way of proving it....
1. Some kind of disease that wiped out all ten pike. I only found 4 but could easiley have missed the other 6.
2. The pond is 1/4 acre with 10NP stocked. That is a lot of top line predators for that size body of water. Is it possible the other larger pike "pushed out or made eating very difficult" for the smaller ones. Thus starving the littler ones
Any thoughts? I will probably never know, with so little information.
