I have been fly fishing for BG and RES this past week in the pond. I caught two BG (out of 50) that had sores on the side of their bodies. These sores were rosy red in color and looked like a layer or two of their skin was missing. Or it looked like their skin was thinner at the spot to where you could almost see tissue below the skin. And was about the size of a dime. I am thinking it might be bacterial and could be caused by the warm water temperatures or maybe some type of stress. I have looked here (forum) an can not find any thread that has been posted in the past but I am pretty sure I remember a post where someone else had experienced this. I have seen where stress can cause problems, but these fish are fed well, and pond has aeration and water looks to be in pretty good condition with 21" visibility in a fertilized pond. The water get pretty hot in the daytime but when swimming the other day there was still some cooler water near the bottom of the pond.
Any ideas??
Thanks
Tracy
